Hi David, At about every occasion I see Microsoft and OpenOffice developers I am trying to convince them to support SVG as a static image format in their office suites.
Somehow graphic in Office (no difference if MsOffice or OpenOffice) seems not be a high priority. The best in your case is to export the thing to PNG. All vector formats that today's Office suites support suck in some way or another ... either they don't support complex paths or opacity or filters ... OpenOffice/LibreOffice has some SVG support, but it can't even handle the simplest files ... I really hope that the LibreOffice team invests more dev time in their SVG import and export filters. Sorry that I don't know a better format than PNG ...
