[scribus] How do I ungroup / regroup tables?

[Silvain Dupertuis]

One thing I have often done when I needed more flexibility for tables:

  * Create the table with LibreOffice
  *

    Export to PDF

  *

    Place the PDF (as link) into an image frame in Scribus

It worked perfectly and smoothly (just be sure to check the option of incorporationg pdf 
and eps files when exporting Scribus file to PDF -- or whatever it says in English - my 
version is 1.5.7 French)

And if I have any modification in my table later on, just do it in LO, rexport to PDF, and 
the Scribus file updates automatically (even if it is opened simultaneously).

This can be done for any kind of block of text which is easier to format with LO...
