Also : Be aware that opening a SLA in scribus wont give you text editing abilities on the imported text since it will be imported as shapes, vector drawings, not letters of a font in a text. But even so, as with any set of shapes or images, you will be able to select a bunch of them (a paragraph) and replace them with some real text if you wish so.
