Hi all, I'm using scribus 1.4.5 for Windows, and have got a problem with imported styles, perhaps somebody here could help me. The situation is like this:
I'm working in an ODT document (edited in LibreOffice) with paragraph styles "foo", "bar", etc., and want to import it (with the styles) into a Scribus document. However, the imported styles in Scribus look a bit different from LibreOffice. Now, I created styles in Scribus with the same names as in the ODT document, but with the format that I really wanted. My purpose was replacing the original ODT styles by the new ones of the Scribus document... but I don't find a smart way of doing this. I can do it manually, i.e. import the document without merging the style names; then I've got a list with the styles of *both* the ODT file and the ones that I created in Scribus, so that I can delete the ODT sytles one by one, and in the dialog that pops up tell that I want to replace them by the Scribus styles. This works, but it is a bit tedious if I have to do it many times. (The context is that I am editing a journal with several texts that are contributed by the authors, who use an ODT template with the styles. So I have to repeat this operation for each individual text.) Does anybody know a way to do this automatically, or an alternative solution? I wouldn't have problems in writing a script in Python, if that makes life easier. But I have not found any pointer telling how to manage styles by scripting (except for creating new styles). Thanks in advance, Helios De Rosario
