.svg files

[episodic]

Alright, I don't usually ask, but how do you use .svg files in a microsoft office doc?


I've been opening them in the browser then using a screen capture utility to convert them to .png, etc.


I even downloaded OpenOffice cause I thought for some reason it would handle it, not.

svg are vector graphics. The new 1.5 branch of firefox should be able to open them, as well as many other programs, including some by adobe.

Well I can open them with firefox, but I can't figure out how to use them in Office - I have 500 megs of svg clipart from an openclipart collection.

The only way I've been using them is opening them in firefox - then using a screencapture utility to change it to a jpg file then inserting it that way.

I've done that already - installed that.

That just lets me view it in the browser.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the files in word and powerpoint easier.
