Thanks for your rapid answer ! I have retried the way you say on two simple pages. Unfortunately, footnotes get placed in the main text frame. Cross references are transformed into plain text (not dynamic anymore). These 2 shortcomings make it impractical to work on a scientific book in OOo form into scribus, unless I missed something. So my question on *real* text remains... Regards Mayeul Christoph Sch?fer a ?crit : >Am Mittwoch, 15.
