Thanks a.l.e,
I couldn't quite follow your suggested path. I am a Mac user which might have something to do with it. I "selected" the a text frame (red outline with little corner and side box nodes), but then could not find a "text info" to click on, nothing presented itself. I looked in the main menu and at best found Scripter > Scribus Scripts > Info Box, but there was nothing there.
By the way, I use(d) Scribus to format a novella, and once I got the hang of it found it would work for longer works a chapter at a time.
Thanks,
