Alternating Left-Right page format for book layout [NEWBIE-NOT YET DOWNLOADED]

SciFi

I have created a .pdf attached of what I'm trying to find and I hope Scribus will allow me to create. I would like to create a template/theme where each left side page of a book has a column of text situated closer to the spine, thus its right side, and each right facing frame has its text on the spine side, or left of the page.

Like a program I had many years ago, I'd like to be able to drag an image over the pasted text and have the text automatically move aside and reformat the remaining text pages.

Please tell me it is so!

I don't think you can do it automatically.

However, it's not difficult to set up a set of Master Pages for the base format of your text which will leave the second column normally blank, and then to create an image box with an associated text box for your caption wherever you want to insert an image.
