But if you need to keep the exact content of the spreadsheet, cell formatting included, we prefer to use Calc and you'll need OpenOffice installed. You can use the software you like to create your table but it needs to be opened in OpenOffice.org Calc. From here, do the last adjustments and add a chart if you want. And follow these steps:
In Calc, draw your table and format it, select the cells you want to add to your Scribus document and copy them (Ctrl + C).
In OpenOffice.org Calc, choose File | New | Drawing.
A new window opens and now paste with Edit | Paste Special, and in the window choose Calc.
Without doing anything, go to File | Export and save it where you want but as an EPS file by just adding
.eps
at the end of the file name. Select the Selection checkbox at the bottom of the dialog so that only the table and not the page is exported.In the PostScript Options window, just verify the color settings so that you keep the colors you put on...
