wmf file has no mapping

Postby mo1962mn » Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:07 am

Hi guys,

My problem is that when I load a jpg into Inkscape and trace bitmap and then save the file as wmf format and then load it into powerpoint and right click on it to ungroup it there is no mapping on it ? Hope someone can help as I am trying to make a video with the videoscribe affect and this is a big problem?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

I haven' got PP to try, but in Libreoffice the imported image has to be "converted to curve" before it can be ungrouped for the effects.... so, in PP, you may need to convert to a "MS drawing object" after importing.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
