No, becuase OpenOffice Writer does not work in Scribus native format,
importing from OO passes a "translation".


One other reason for the spellchecker should be done before the text ends
up on the canvas is the matter of character spacings (kerning and
similar). On the canvas people are usually working visually, changes to
the text are for visual appearance.

What if you kern (not sure if that is the correct word for this situation)
V and A closer together for a word, then the spellchecker tells that there
shall be a U between V and A? Or that the V skall be a W? What happends to
the distance between characters?

Or if the corrected spelling makes the word longer/shorter so lines wrap
differently?
