OK. I see that I can _open_ Protractor.svg from OOo dev300-m23 (using
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/svgimport) thanks.
However I can find no way to 'import' the svg into an open drawing. Is
there something simple that I'm missing? If I do Insert|Picture there is
no option to import an svg.

As for Ubuntu's OOo (seldom use it & then mostly only to test): on their
2.4.1; File|Open on the svg results in the layers being horribly messed
up. However, their Insert|Picture does show an SVG import option -
unfortunately the drawing is as messed up as the File|Open. I'd be happy
to send you some screenshots if you are interested.
