Hi,

Just to make sure you are doing it correctly when importing from Open
Office:

1. Right click in the text frame
2. Select 'Get Text'
3. Select your OO document

You will then be asked if you want to;

4. Overwrite paragraph styles - Takes in the OO styles
5. Merge Paragraph styles - Tries to eliminate similiar, but
differently named styles
6. Use the imported document name as a prefix for the styles

If you then wish to change a paragraph style, then do so in the editor
with another defined style. You can edit the imported style, that will
then affect all the document assigned that style in one go.

In Scribus-1.3.3.x you can only change the text style in the paragraph
style or by using the "Edit contents of Frame" button

In Scribus-1.3.5 it is possible to create seperate character and
paragraph styles
