That would work. Its hardly a major inconvenience to create a table in OOo and cut an paste a metafile into Scribus. Once in that format you can scale and position it so getting exactly right is not that important. The only real issue is that if you need to edit the table you have to go back to OOo and do a bit of cutting and pasting but is hardly that big an inconvenience. > The end result will be a printed rock climbing route guide with the table > holding the route names and grades, etc. What is it in Scribus you need that you can't do in Writer and Draw? Maybe you could just design the whole thing in OOo?
