Is there any hope, any way how to import graphs and plots from Excel (or anything else)?

actually, there is a simple but somewhat convoluted method I use.

I use an ancillary drawing program called Irfan-view, a terrific freeware in a multiude of uses(nothing vector like)
I see a pic I want[a screen full of excel, or whatever). hit the print scr button on my keyboard. This puts the vision into the clipboard. Then I open Irvfan view. do an edit paste thing. I crop the picture and save it as a bmp file. That can be opened in Inkscape.

The "problem", if that suppose a problem at all for the poster, is that you are saving a bitmap copy whereas PS or PDF are vectors. With vector files you will get better quality, it is editable after importing and (generally speaking) you get a smaller file.

If your question was answered, please consider closing it. Otherwise please let us know what still requires an answer.

It really mostly answered my question and it did help. So I consider to close it, becouse I do not expect it might work with advatiges entirely as in Corel. But the Corel has one unlikely feature. When you put there any graph or plot, whether it is from Excell or from Sigma Plot (that mean out of MS Office) or anything like it, it is not just dead graphic., the rastr. It is add-in window in which you can still manipulate with its properties, labels, axis, switch of some lines, switch them on, change colors and sizes of labels and so on.

I would be happy if Inkscape would allow kind of manipulation with it. But OK, I do not expect it much.

Thanks for your answers.

I close it, for I do not want to create artificial problems to solve, but I would be still interested if anything like it would be proposed.

Thanks Pablo Trabajos, that solved my question.
