[scribus] Using Scribus for a newsletter

A template is a template document. You would get the same function if you
saved a scribus document and then made a new copy of it.

Let me first ask you why do you want to convert the page to a Master Page?
Master Pages are like a page background. Appying a Master Page to a page
is like changing the background for that page.

If you want pages with frames etc to use as templates for new pages,
Scribus does not currently support that in a good way. The best way is
probably to make a document with template pages and then import a page
from that document when you want to use a specific template.

Also note that the Master Page is save in the document. If you open or
start a new document, it will have it's own Master Pages.
