[scribus] Importing text with effects

[Joe Zeff]

I create a contribution to a weekly APA (Think of it as a small 
newsletter.) by doing my composition in OpenOffice then bringing the 
text into Scribus for page layout.  Right now, I have to use the story 
editor for any italics, bold or other effects.  Is there any way to set 
Scribus to bring in those effects when it imports the text?  Doing it in 
OpenOffice and having the italics and so-on brought over would be much 
simpler.
