Hi, In my experience I never seen a more effective way to work with tables than in OO. Thus, the only effective way I see is to print the table to postscript file from OO and import the postscript to Scribus.
I know, that if i need changes i have to return to OO, but I see no better way for now. If Scribus had a table editor similar to OO it would be great! Victor.
