"As a layout program, Scribus puts objects in frames so that
they can be manipulated more easily. Images, drawing primitives,
tables -- if it is content, Scribus puts it in a color-coded frame,
with eight handles so that you can position it by dragging it
around. But of all its frames, the most important -- and probably
the most customizable -- is the text frame.
"A text frame is just what it sounds like: a container for
text-based content. Often, it can be treated like any other object,
especially when you are placing it on the page or adding basic
formatting. However, how you put text into text frames and format
it, and how you connect frames so that text flows from one to the
other -- all these are peculiar to text frames alone, and require
special attention."
