[scribus] Text frame on master page with text entered on actual pages?

[Ondřej Němeček]

I made some experiments and it looks like there is only way how to 
relativelly simple align multiple frames horizontally, but limited
way to align them vertically. I tryied this on double sided document:

Prepare document:

- create double sided document with 6 pages and auto frames
- add both horizontal and vertical guides on left and right master pages
- set zoom to 50% to best view what is happening

Align horizontally:

- by clicking select vertical guide
- by clicking select all frames on left pages (in outline window)
- open "align and distribute" dialog
- set "relative to guides"
- click on "align left sides" button
- frames on left pages are now aligned horizontally
- you can the same do for frames on right pages

Align vertically:

- by clicking select horizontal guide
- by clicking select frames on pages 1 and 2 (in outline window)
- open "align and distribute" dialog
- set "relative to guides"
- click on "align tops" button
- frames on pages 1 and 2 are now aligned vertically
- but you need to do this for pages 3,4 etc. separately

Is there some better way to do this task? Any ideas are there?
