OK, as a slave to Mr Gates I usually work with his evil Microsoft junk. So what do I do? I gather that I cannot import from word into scribus. Is there a workaround if I save word as html? If so how do I save in html and import to scribus?
My other option would be to get openoffice and start using that? :) Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Sch?fer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 26 December 2007 1:07 PM To: scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de Cc: John Thornton Subject: Re: [Scribus] spellcheck for Scribus Am Mittwoch, 26.

You can save any text created in Scribus as plain text, either by using File > Export > Save Text for a single text frame or use the script http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Extracting_All_Text_from_a_Document. You will lose all formatting, though. In general, it's a much better idea to write and spellcheck your text _before_ you insert it into Scribus. Scribus is layout program, no word processor or text editor. 1.3.5 might be shipped with a spell checker. The code is written, but it still needs some polish.
