I am trying to plug a drawing in Inkscape SVG format into a .docx Word 2013 file.
Using the solution posted under Inserting SVG files in a Microsoft Word document, I am not able to maintain the colour gradient fill inside rectangles. Contrary to this discussion, I don't have the requirement for an editable figure in Word 2013.
I tried another solution suggested by Microsoft, that consists of exporting the SVG file to PDF and then importing into Word 2013 via the function insert >> object (Text) >> insert from file. This however resulted in a grossly distorted import of my drawing.
Exporting the SVG file to PNG format resulted in a rather pixelated import into Word 2013.
In the end, I exported the figure to PDF and made a screen snapshot after which I pasted this into Word. This worked out best.
However, I consider the last solution rather messy (presumably, total loss of vector graphic scalability) and impractical for a large set of figures. Is there a better alternative?
