I find the easiest way to make complex tables in Scribus is to<br><br>1. Create them in Libreoffice Draw<br>2. Save them as a svg file<br>3. Import them in Scribus<br>4. Ungroup in Scribus using Item>Ungroup<br>5. Select the table and delete the outside frame <br>
<br>It works like a charm. So, happy to have found this out. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 <br><br>Happy Tabling in Scribus!!<br>
