[scribus] 'No Style' problem when importing from Open Office

[Chris Tregenza]

Thanks Ole,

Does anyone have a workaround - A way of importing text into Scribus 
whilst keeping the style information?

I'm not worried about the actual formatting (point size etc) as that is 
what I want Scribus for. Being able retain the style types (Heading, Sub 
Heading etc) associated with the text is the vital bit I'm currently 
missing.
