Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Workflow / vector graphics to LO / Impress

Hi Tom -

well, the issue is to include scientific graphs etc. from other programs
(plots, CAD, etc.) - the way to inkscape is quite straight forward.  But
then from there further to LO is a pain (as described). Maybe other
people have similar issues and found a better way than 'try'n'error' as
I do it right now.

What do you refer to that 'Impress is fairly broken'?

Cheers!
