I do pricing in Scribus. How to paste from excel. :'(
It needs to be done that as changing data in excel also change in Scribus.
Corel was really simple, here I have no idea.
THX for help.
First, Corel (1) Draw or (2) Word Perfect? It makes a huge difference. Second, are you talking about mail merge/data merge/print merge, I cannot remember what corel calls it. Third, why would you want to import into Scribus when a spreadsheet program is more efficient for pricing IMHO?

Hey mimoto,
One other thing that I thought of... could you be talking about OLE (object linking embedding)? I have used this function several times within libreoffice.

Hi.
Pricing is not just a string of numbers. It is in a directory folder. With photos, descriptions. It goes to print. Small tables are Excel or Open c. There change data. Now I have done in Corel. I can not use it any more. I do this in open source.

I do not think Scribus is the most suitable tool for the task at the moment. Yes, it can be scripted in Scribus, but writing that script would take a lot of effort.
Suggestion: Post on lists.scribus.net
and also check out https://github.com/berteh/ScribusGenerator
Yes, in corel they are OLE objects.
