Thanks, Chris. My idea is to use vectorial figures drawn by Inkscape in OpenOffice Presentation. The current conversion from Inkscape to OpenOffice Draw is not satisfactory, as the text is neglected, i.e., not visible. I tried to circumvent the problem by converting to wmf and hence to OpenOffice Draw.
I tried this: 1. made a vector object and some text in inkscape (v0.45) 2. saved as EPS ('outline text' was checked') 3. Went to Insert>Picture>From File in OO Draw(v2.0.4) That worked OK. It seems odd that OO doesn't appear to handle SVG. Chris
