By which program ? Illustrator ? Corel Draw ? Photoshop ?
Are you trying to include this in another document or application ? PDF
might be a better way. GSView 4.4 and Ghostscript 8.0 on Win2k open the
few Scribus EPS files I have tested.

Exactly. For the 1.0 Docs I have already put together some notes and
hints about file formats.
So far, in my incomplete testing, Illustrator 10 does a remarkable job
of editing individual Scribus PDF pages. I have taken a bunch of
different Scribus PDF's and can edit any kind of object in Illustrator.
Text, image and even the newest text into polygons features are all
editable under Illustrator.
