OK, thanks to Christoph and some others I have found a work around to my problem importing the SVG which is basically:
Create the table in oo.o spreadsheet. Copy to oo.o drawing Save as SVG file Open SVG file in Inkscape Save file as EPS file Import EPS into Scribus. Just one thing of note - I am working on a small page size (A5) and the table is wider than that (I planned to scale it down) but EPS doesn't like being spread off the page when being imported and gets messed up - so the EPS needs to be scaled smaller first. Does this need a bug filed? Calum
