I need to copy and paste a portion of my figure over to Word. I realize that I can't just do an Edit -> Copy -> switch to Word -> Paste (although that would be nice). So, I have to do it by creating a new file, save it as EMF file, and then switch over to Word, do an Insert -> Picture - From File. That works. However, the resulting figure is a full page figure - with lots of empy space. I also realize that there is no crop feature in Inkscape. So, can somebody please point me to a tool that can crop the EMF file so I can import it into Word?
I've never tried export to EMF but PDF show a similar behaviour. If your blank space corresponds to the blank area of your Inkscape page, you can just fit Inkscape's page to the content of your drawing: Document prosperties > Page > Fit page to selection
It would be nice however to be able to do this from the export dialog, i.e. to have some options similar to those of the bitmap export dialog such as export only selection, export all drawing or export the whole page. Maybe there is already a RFE (Request For Enhancement) about this, otherwise you could fill one.
Hope that helps.
