[Scribus] spellcheck for Scribus

[John Thornton]

OK, as a slave to Mr Gates I usually work with his evil Microsoft junk. 

So what do I do? I gather that I cannot import from word into scribus. Is
there a workaround if I save word as html? If so how do I save in html and
import to scribus?

My other option would be to get openoffice and start using that? :)

You can save any text created in Scribus as plain text, either by using File

You will lose all formatting, though.

In general, it's a much better idea to write and spellcheck your text
_before_ 
you insert it into Scribus. Scribus is layout program, no word processor or 
text editor.

1.3.5 might be shipped with a spell checker. The code is written, but it
still 
needs some polish.
