after so many years, i've had the need to import a document into a different one. and i've created this ticket: overwrite the default styles when importing styles from another file https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=15473 if you identify other issues, please make a report for each of them and link them to each other (there is a relationship section in the ticket). ciao a.l.e
