Comment 8 for bug 217231

Naturally. See Mindmap below with which I'd like to explain.

Using Payne's ScrambleAssistant xla, I've first scrambled the original, as the contents (address book) weren't that important. Here's the first page (again) printed from MS Excel (2007 this time), by means of the virtual printer emfprinter. (Without shrinking the document emfprinter will only print a part of the page.)

[Xara Xtreme note] Printed from Lotus Symphony, it did print the whole page (fit everything in one page as originally intended for A4 paper), but then only the last cell was there and the other objects (cells) were textless.

For now I'm having trouble reinstalling emfprinter, so I've provided an Excel 2007 emf out file (through emfprinter) from within Vista, with this result: see attachments.

One of the files came from IBM Symphony. Only this file produces the same effect I was talking about in Inkscape, the app we're talking about here;) It appears that the four files from WinVísta does contain text, although while Xtreme does reproduce the yellow bars, in Inkscape there seems to appear nothing at all.

I'll come back when I have emfprinter up and running again on XP, perhaps sooner, to give you the file that you asked about.

Thank you for this opportunity.
