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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
