I'm sorry but I have no clue about what happens. I cannot reproduce these problems. In an attempt to reproduce these problems: * I've installed a fresh copy of Professional Edition. * Then I've installed just two add-ons: "XSL-FO processor plug-in" and "Apache Batik image toolkit plug-in". * Then I've opened XXE_install_dir/demo/dita-sample.ditamap and dita-sample/readme.dita,in XXE. The SVG graphics tux.svg contained in readme.dita looks great. * Finally I've converted XXE_install_dir/demo/dita-sample.ditamap to .odt (Ooo.org native format). Works great too. Note that here at XMLmind, we daily create, edit and convert DocBook and DITA documents containing SVG graphics to a variety of formats without any problem. > > Yes, I am starting to discover that it is not possible to use this software > for the simplest thing without reading a lot.

I'm not sure to understand how you have created your document. Is this document valid? If it's not, XXE displays a red X icon at the bottom/left of the main window and does not work normally (Unlike emacs+nxml-mode, XXE is painful to use when working on a structurally invalid document). > If I had to create a document, I would be in deep trouble.

That's why we have Personal Edition. Personal Edition allows you to take your time to decide whether our product works for you. Moreover you can this without having to spend a dime. For what you experience, we may want to give up using XMLmind XML Editor. We understand that very well. That's why, if you are a customer of Professional Edition, we'll be glad to refund your money.
