But Visio knows how to handle SVGs. So would that interface work? I have found I can go from Visio to Word so long as I save the copied file as a Visio document first.

If it is possible to create an extended meta file (emf), should it not be possible to copy a drawing to the clipboard to enable transfer of an image to Word or Powerpoint? Is this possible as an extension?

When I try to render \LaTeX, Inkscape does not render the A on top of the L and I get L T_E X. I am using the cygwin version of LaTeX.
