I think I'll go this way, in my case it seems a lot faster than the
other one. Thanks a lot :)

In both ways I would have to do it for every page in a very long
document, which would be as time consuming as setting the first line
offset for each text frame.

Anyway I think it should be possible to do it for multiple selected
text frames from within scribus. What is the most appropriate place to
make-discuss feature suggestions?
