Greg,

Maybe we could have a short statement at the beginning of the Tutorial 
that would talk about the frame fundamentals in Scribus. Ever since I 
talked to beginners and start with this little explanation, the rest 
just goes real smooth. I remember my first day with XPress when all I 
wanted was to place text on my page. This was the number one thing! Draw 
a frame and use the get text menu and you are already laying out 
something! Something like showing the door.

We could re-organize the content a bit so that complex issues be dealt 
with further down the road, not in the first pages... Agree.

On the content, do we agree some pics are controversial, not text? 
Please refer to my previous post to Maciej.

Cheers!

Louis
