Hi Christophe, I followed your advice and consulted the Help Manual, which contains some useful advice on importing tables into Calc. However, I'm still reformatting my Word tables in Scribus line by line.
I can import ordinary Word documents into Scribus with ease by converting them into OpenOffice Write documents first, but my monthly diary (in a rather complicated Word table format) still seems to be a step too far for Scribus.
