[Inkscape-user] Of cut, paste, and crop

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,
