[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] 'exporting' Odt into Scribus

Hi :)
This issue is solved for me now.  Already! :))

Thanks for the links to their support! :)  Charles' link was a huge help.
The support links might help later on though.


I had kinda figured that this work-flow would mean i'd be using even less
of Writer's features for this than i do now and that i wouldn't be making
much use of Scribus' features either.  However it does deal with some petty
issues, increases flexibility and simplifies certain things.

Many thanks to everyone who helped with this
Regards from
Tom :)
