Thanks for the help.
Nermander, I ran the default scripts that were bundled into the program and those worked fine.
I have both pasted it into the console and run the .py file.
When I run the console, I am able to select an image directory and an image type, but then get these error messages below:
'\nThis is scribalbum_letter.py. This script will load the images from a\ndirectory, creating a new document of US Letter size.\n\nUSAGE: It is probably better not to already have any document in Scribus,\nsince memory usage can become intense when a large number of images is\nused. \nYou are first presented with a dialog to choose either 4 or 6 images per page.\nNext select a directory where your images are located. Finally, select the \ntypes of image files, using the code you see in the last dialog. \nNOTE: If you choose PDF, only the first page will be imported, and the PDF \nwill be rasterized.\n\nAUTHOR: Gregory Pittman Original version: 2005.02.13, this version: 2008.07.23\n\nLICENSE: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify \nit under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free \nSoftware Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any \nlater version.\n\n'

Polpero, thanks for the tip about not creating a page when I open the program. However, when I executed the script as suggested -- Scripts/Execute script.../scribalbum_letter.py -- I am told to choose the number of pages for the document -- 4 or 6 (something I don't see when I do it in the console), I select the image directory, then the image type, and then see a pop-up window that says this:
Traceback (most recent call last:
File "", line 8, in
File "C:\Users\Back Office\Box Sync\Satellite Photos\Image Creation with Scribus\scribalbum_letter.py", line 71, in
scribus.setFont(labelFont, L)
ValueError: Font not found.
Unlike pasting the code into the console, this actually creates a page with a text box in it that says, "Dir: C:/Users/Back Office/Box".
Thanks again for your help!

I wonder if it has to do with the first line of the code, which is for linux, but I am in Windows...
