[Scribus] Subdivisions, Columns, Tables

[Roger]

I dont understand the discussion about multi columns and spacings.
It seems to me that trying to do things in one text box increases the associated problems as has
been discussed.

I have as many columns and rows of any dimension that I need simply by using empty text boxes as
recepticals and spacers, with set dimensions and xyz positioning.
Then just link  text in receptical boxes where I want flow to occur. Am I doing something incorrectly.

What is the reason that text boxes aren't suitable to provide the appropriate columns, rows and
spacings in the discussion thread.

help appreciated
