[Scribus] spellcheck for Scribus

[John Thornton]

Thanks for the help.

My project is that I am producing a newsletter that will be put online.
Hence it would be VERY bad to make spelling mistakes! 

Scribus, for all its limitations, is still the best layout software that I
have come across so far.

You can. You'll just lose your text formatting.

Save as HTML from Word and import the file into a Scribus text frame.
Scribus 
_does_ support HTML formatting.

That'd be even better, since OO.o Writer files are better supported than 
*.doc. Paragraph styles and formatting of individual characters will survive

the import.
