But there is only ONE per text box and it controls for the text color, the
text outline color, the background color and the text box line color all
with a single setting.  Is this correct?  So I can't control set the text
to overprint and the background to knockout?

So what are the design strategies and Scribus object manipulation
techniques to do this?  It seems like you'd have to have 4 different
objects and somehow control them all together for resizing etc.  I suppose
it's possible to do this by grouping the objects - it just seems harder
than it needs to be.

What do hard core scribus users typically do?  Or do you all avoid designs
that require these techniques?
