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.

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 ;)
