Hi Mayeul,

your approach is a bit ... uhmm unusual, and to be honest, I dont think you 
will do yourself a favour if try to continue that way.

If I were you, I would store my OO.o Writer file without any graphs and 
diagrams and import the text into Scribus. As for the image files, they are 
better stored separately and then imported into Scribus. This gives you 
_much_ more control over your layout in Scribus.
