[ALUG] Vector graphics formats importable by Windows?

Hi Folks,

I'm wondering what vector graphics forms (i.e. not bitmap) are importable by Windows applications such as Word.

When one makes a graph in Linux, the principal such output format available is PS or EPS. Now, while EPS can be imported (and will print on a PS printer), it does not display on screen since Win support for PS is grudging at best. And it certainly cannot be edited in Word!

The "standard" Windows vector graphics format is WMF or EWMF, but normal Linux applications will not create this format.

So the question is: what (if any) vector graphics formats can both be created on Linux and imported into WinWord so that Word can handle them as flexibly as it can proprietary formats?

With thanks, and best wishes to all, Ted.
