RE: [Orgmode] Org-mode to MS-Word/OOo with vector graphics

[Short, Tom]

Fine with me, David. If you want some notes on what I couldn't get to 
work, here they are:

* docbook export - load into OpenOffice.org 3.2 directly
  Fails; I don't know why.

* docbook export - use docbook2odf
  Doesn't work with docbook v5 produced by orgmode

* docbook export - DOCX converter

  Didn't convert graphics.

* latex export - tex4ht to OpenOffice.org format
  tex4ht converts to a .ODF file okay, but it converts graphics to 
  PNG in the process. Configuration of tex4ht is complex. There is 
  some indication that EPS files could work:
