After selecting your odt document, you should get a dialog asking what to import, (fonts, styles etc) It works for me Why don't you try it again. You may wish to know about http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus Also http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Success_stories_2012 should indicate to you that Scribus is a very competent piece of software. You just have a learing curve to scale. Perhaps try the tutorial in the Help->Manual -- Owen
