Installed current version of Quark for a test drive only to discover I am seemingly unable to import .odt files with the thing. I get those from a client and I could just use Open Office to convert them if I must but that means an additional step I could do without.

Having used Scribus for that file format I found it odd that it should not be possible.

Just out of intrest: could I do that with InDesign?

I checked the Adobe pages, and they don't support odt. Can you save in rtf from Open Document? That is supported.

I can do that or I could just use Scribus! I would not throw anything big at it but for what I need to do it works fine.
