Word, Adobe SVG Viewer and SVG files...

[Gatika]

Hey all,

I have an SVG file that I want to put into a Word document. It's a recreated signature image.

I've installed the Adobe SVG viewer, and I've been trying to insert the file as an object. It tells me that:

"This object was created in Adobe. This application is not available to open this object. Make sure the application is properlly installed and has not been deleted, moved or renamed."

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the viewer twice. Oh, and I have Windows XP Home, Office 2003.

How do I get this to cooperate?

Could you convert the SVG file to a JPG or GIF file for use in Word?

I could, but the whole point was to get a scaleable image into Word. I was trying to create a signature graphic that would print almost as smoothly as a regular font character.

Edit: Hmm, interesting. I opened the SVG file with my browser, and copied and pasted 'Special' as a bitmap into Word. I don't think I ultimately accomplished anything though...but at least I can see it.

>Inkscape< is free, can read the SVG format, and moreover can convert into another more suitable format.

Thanks Rob!
