One can certainly create a list of items on a page, get the text, delete the text and insert new text. Even just a grep-like function might be nice.

A third approach might be to write a program in Perl, Python, whatever, to do surgery on a Scribus file, maybe creating a backup of the original for safety's sake. Greg
