[scribus] URL - import text

[ZASKE Martin]

Hi Silvain,

please try again like this and let us know:



Create a text frame and select it.

Do > file > import > get text

As "Importer" select "ODT Document"
(not OpenOffice Writer Document - this is what I was missing for a long
time)

Accept the defaults (for starters).

The text should now appear inside your text frame with its formatting. I
just tried it again.



On my machine, I can so import odt files including their formatting
(fonts, text-size, bold/regular, etc.). I am running Scribus 1.5.5 on
Windows 10 pro.
