hello Christoph, I'm looking into it. Esp. for Abi's stuff. It looks more "transformable" into Scribus than koffice surprisingly. The PDB importer was work for 4 hours only (well, I'm not so good programmer propably) just because PDB is very simple document format. You can imagine the complexity of DOC - we should to write Scribus wrapper for a lot of binary pieces of strange unknowns. Personally I prefer styles enabled importer too. But it can be way to lost the time for more important bugs mainly (yep, large patches come these days). p. -- Petr Vanek -------------- petr [at] yarpen [dot] cz www.yarpen.cz ---------------- Kuolema Kaikille (Paitsi Meille) ------------------------------- Today is good day to end it all -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
