I talked my friend into going to a local Publisher course at the library. She'd been struggling with using Open Office to do her projects, and didn't want to change. After the class, she started saying she needed page layout software to do the work. I also took the course, my way of getting her to go, and found some of the same issues with Publisher 2007 that I found in Publisher XXXX that went with Office Professional 4.3, Windows for Workgroups days. I suspect MS just updates Publisher to work with the current operating systems and nothing else.
I tried an SVG and PDF on Zamzar, output was only bitmapped, html, and ebook variations. Not a single vector graphic format. Based on a couple of comments others have made in this thread, I suspect SVG has features in it's vector file format that no other vector format supports. Which eliminates any other vector format use for some things created in Inkscape.
As I mentioned in another post, changing the corporate mindset is not on her agenda. It probably doesn't help that it's an international corporation.
I've wanted to try Scribus, but have never had the time.

I don't know if her preferred DTP software will import SVG files. What we have to deal with is, MS Publisher 2010 must be able to utilize the finished file. There's no option there.
Ah. Publisher. Lovely ;)
Whenever someone sends me a .PUB, I use Zamzar ( http://www.zamzar.com/ ) to convert it to something I can open. Perhaps you can try the other way around? I'd try feeding it SVG or PDF and asking for EPS, EMF, or WMF maybe. I'm not sure what Publisher wants for vector import - I haven't used it in ages, and don't plan to ;)
Convince corporate to use Scribus for DTP, and you're doing everyone a favor ;)
