I haven't seen your newsletter so maybe I'm misunderstanding. In Scribus, and in InDesign, you can place stories, or parts of stories, into independent "boxes." From there, you can edit and format without affecting any of the other boxes. I have never used the internal editors because I don't see the point in them. I would recommend that you placed your articles, in order that you receive them, into individual boxes and edit them right on the page. Maybe there is a reason this won't work for you, but I have created hundreds of magazines, newsletters and the like this way. I just plop the Word or LibreOffice text onto the page and assemble, move and format in the page.

I thought Freehand was great back then. It worked just like I wanted it to.
