That is something that is needed too. I haven't used the filters in a while though, so I am not sure it they still are as "bad" as the used to be. I would like the filters to import the text keeping the styles by name, but not adding styles to Scribus but using available styles. And a setting to either discard styles not already present or import them. I guess the same option would be useful also for direct formatting. Something in the line of setting up rules: Office style____________ In Scribus Standard______________Map to Body text Heading 1_____________Map to Main heading other styles: Map to Scribus style with same name (discard if no style has same name) direct formatting: Bold____Map to Enhanced direct formatting: other____discard /Peter
