3.6 Page Menu

Insert

Brings up a dialog box where you can choose how many new pages you want to insert and where in the document.

Delete

Brings up a dialog box where you can choose which pages you want to delete. Note: there will be always one page remaining in the document.

Copy

This will copy a duplicate of a page to another section within the publication.

Move

Here you can move and reorder pages around in the document.

Apply Template

Here you can apply a previously created page template size, gutter and other settings. Templates are specific to a document. This useful if you need a series of pages for example with a background on all pages or default text boxes for page numbering, headers or footers.

When you think you might need to have several templates that might share the same features, a time saving method is to create a single with all the features and then using the duplicate function to create variations of the original in place of creating each template from scratch..

Manage Guides

Guides are non-printing visible rulers which can be placed on the page for visually aligning objects. To create a guide you can manually insert the measurement in the dialog or simply select the vertical or horizontal ruler and left drag a guide into place. When importing pages from another Scribus document, the guides will be imported as well. One of the best uses for guides is for centering image or graphic objects like pictures in the center of the page. You can also lock them into place.
