Comment 2 for bug 256019

Dear Ulferikson,

I use Inkscape 0.46 build apr 1 2008 on a PC with WinXP.

Inkscape pastes Excel 2007 figure better than Corel, however when I save this file as svgz in Corel it is converted to vector graphics (a pop-up window allows embedding text as editable text and a lot of other parameter can be adjusted). Inkscape does not convert it into vector when I save in svg or svgz. How shell I save it to get vector graphic? The "vectorize bitmap" produces unusably complex output (at least I cannot use it properly...). The Corel vectorized file is fine for Inkscape editing.

I do not know what file format Excel 2007 use for copying a figure (png? wmf? emf?) and I do not know what happens during conversion, whether it is the same as "vectorize bitmap", or the original pasted image is not a bitmap but a metafile?

What to do? Play with "vectorize bitmap"?

Thanks in advance,

Peter
