Recently, someone asked about DTP for linux, just found this while
poking around today, figured it may help:

 "Scribus looks great so far, but there are a few missing features and
 hurdles. The first is the aforementioned lack of an undo feature;
 everyone makes mistakes. Currently, Scribus has the ability to import
 text from plain text files. Importing text from DOC and RTF files would
 be very useful, and is necessary for an environment such as mine, where
 it is important to include formatting such as italics, and where
 content is submitted by writers and editors who will likely be using
 the DOC format." 


Peace.
