Tried importing odt file with the current Writer importer and text imported fine all formatting was lost. It did import paragraph styles though. If i've understood this right odt is strongly based on OO.o 1.0 document format. It probably wouldn't be that much work. I would appreciate if someone could point me a link where differencies between these two file formats are highlighted. There's a nice and (hopefully) easy to use api in Scribus for building importers for formatted text. If anybody is interested have a look at page http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&sm=gettexthowto&page=gettexthowto Feel free to send me an email if you have a question about building your own Get Text importer or if you want to spare my time for other work and want to make odt importer ;) Riku
