[Scribus] ughh... OpenOffice text document ??

[stu seven]

*** well right... it isn't very clear at all, except
*** all these nice people replying :) As I
*** mentioned, I was able to import an OO.o
*** drawing file... but for me, this failed miserably...
*** the connector lines were missing... the text
*** blocks were reformatted and uneditable...
*** I was beginning to think I had DREAMED
*** about OO imports at all :)
***
*** I will be extremely happy IF my OO docs
*** can be imported... to me, it is something
*** easier to write in the OpenOffice as a
*** word processor... while I certainly favor
*** Scribus as a DTP app... so, Im happy if
*** this works out now, and thanks again to
*** all who reply.
