Recently, I am using LibreOffice ( http://www.libreoffice.org/ ), since this comes default on Linux distributions. If you save as ODT files (this is the key), Scribus should import styles Ok. If you save as a .doc file you will lose all styles on import to Scribus. When I have tried it, you should be able to import simple applications of bold and italics as character styles, but I think using actual paragraph and character styles in LibreOffice works best. You should also get justifications set automatically too. I confess that I haven't tried this on Windows, but will when I get a chance. Greg
