Let me check this....
(quoted directly) * - Scribus does not import embedded images, and it's not very good at importing tables and footnotes
* - To prevent Scribus from messing up the tables during the import, you might want to convert them to text
* - If the Writer document contains footnotes, you can use a workaround to preserve them during the import.
* - Scribus doesn't support character styles
* - Scribus replaces spaces in the styles' names with _20_
* - Scribus doesn't reflow the inserted text automatically
* - you can't link styles, you can't apply borders, and you can't specify language
* - Scribus doesn't support bold and italics (WTF?! )
* - Scribus doesn't allow you to add dynamic fields with chapter names
Okay, so why is Scribus even considered to be a worthwhile DTP program -- because it supports frames and Master Pages? If I recall, Publisher 97 had more features and power, which is pretty sad.
