There at least two exceptions, though. 1) Since Scribus doesn't support the 
"background colour" formatting. This information will be lost 2) Scribus 
doesn't support "faux" italics and bolds, so if OO.o creates a "faux" font and 
there's no real italic/bold font slant available, you will be asked for a 
replacement.
