After selecting your odt document, you should get a dialog asking what
to import, (fonts, styles etc)

It works for me

Why don't you try it again.

You may wish to know about http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus

Also http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Success_stories_2012 should
indicate to you that Scribus is a very competent piece of software.
You just have a learing curve to scale.

Perhaps try the tutorial in the Help->Manual
