hi nijineko
it's easy to import text fron an .odt file.
but in my interpretation of your problem you finished the whole page layout in openOffice or libreOffice and try to import this work in a scribus file. if i'm right, this is not a supported task. scribus is not an .odt-to-something-else converter. the main task of scribus is the page layout itself and the export in a high quality print file.
now your choices are:
- generate your print file with your office program.
- import the text (formatted, if you used paragraph styles…) and do the layout work again.
good luck

You are correct in that I did finish it in LibreOffice first, but I am not trying to convert it to anything else.
I do not mind doing the layout work again, in fact, that is what I intend to do and why I am trying to import it into Scribus.
Yes, I did use paragraph styles.
However, Scribus cannot seem to import the text only document at all as it pretty much crashes every time I try.
