Creating EPS Graphics

When importing a LibreOffice Calc table or Writer table you cannot place it directly into Scribus. You must first convert it into an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file.

Here's how.

  1. Select the whole or portion of the table you want to place into Scribus. Use the filter function if necessary.
  2. Use Edit > Copy to copy the table to the Clipboard.
  3. Open up LibreOffice Draw.
  4. Use Paste Special and select the one that says 'calc' plus a number.
  5. Press OK.
  6. Resize the image as necessary.
  7. Export to EPS.
  8. Name the saved EPS file.
That's it. This file can now be imported into various programs, including Scribus and Adobe InDesign.
