   Thanks to all who have responded for the friendly welcome to Scribus. 
There is nothing like a friendly group to help a person through the 
inevitable snarls of learning a new program. I hope to progress to the point 
of being helpful to others.

    I still have this problem with master pages, even going through the new 
tutorial (having spent some hours with the earlier version) and reading what 
else I can find.

    I have my four templates. I call one up, using "new from a template" 
under the file menu.
Then I go to the Page menu, and click on "convert to master page," give it a 
name, and click okay. Then I click on the edit menu and go to Master Pages, 
and, sure enough, there it is, right in there with Normal. So I get the next 
template, click on convert to master page, give it a name and click okay. 
When I go to edit/master pages, I find the new master page in place, but the 
previous one is gone.
    Why is this happening?  Is "convert to master page" not a legitimate way 
to make a master page?

      Thanks again for the welcome and the help. I've downloaded several of 
the programs suggested and gone as far as I could go with them before they 
stumped me. But I'll ask more about them later.
