where did you get the impression from?

scribus is somehow similar to MS Publisher but

- MS Publisher can't open Scribus files (and you can blame Microsoft for it for not implementing an open file format or the Scribus team for avoiding to specify and stabilize their file format)

- Scribus can't open MS Publisher files (and you can blame Microsoft for not publishing the specifications for their file format! the Scribus team would be more than happy to implement the import functions!)


still there are some ways to get the content from your MS Publisher files into Scribus.
