This is cheesey but might work. I say might because I'm at work and don't have Inkscape in front of me. You might also want to work from a copy of the file.
1. Group the entire image. 2. Create a shape around the area you want to keep. 3. Select the grouped image and the shape created in step 2. 4. Clip - Set. 5. Export to PNG to the desired dimensions.
Word seems to play nicely with PNGimages.

Hi list,
I suppose this is slightly OT.
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?
Thanks,
