Thanks for the response Scott 🙂
I have found a way to work around this.
Create your document with columns in LibreOffice/OpenOffice.
File>Export…>Save as XHTML, which will save it as HTML/XHTML.
Open the document in a text editor, not LibreOffice/OpenOffice, Abiword, but an actual text editor like Leafpad.
Copy the html.
Go to your Boldgrid document and paste the html.
It would be faster and more convenient to just do it directly in BG. But, at least there is a way around this.
Thanks again,
