I have this (relatively complex I believe) EPS image, which I want to use in an MS Visio 2013 sheet. I've tried:
- 'Insert Picture' directly: No EPS support.
- Inkscape -> EMF -> Insert Picture: Coloring/lighting degraded.
- Inkscape -> WMF -> Insert Picture: Coloring/lighting degraded (differently).
- Inkscape -> SVG -> Insert Picture: Visio gives a bunch of SVG parsing errors and produces the outlines just right – but with no colors.
- Print to PDF any which way -> Insert Picture: No PDF insertion support.
There's only one way which seems to have worked so far:
- New Word Document -> Insert Picture of the EPS -> Save to file -> Visio Insert Object from file This displays correctly, but you need to mess with the document page within word; and resizing by Visio sometimes fails (or worse) and you need to go into Word to resize the EPS, etc. That's just sad.
So is there a sane way to do it?

Hey I have been wondering about this for 2 years and have not figured out how to do all the "insane" ways you suggested (even though I tried).
In case you're still wondering. I've settled for https://cloudconvert.com/eps-to-svg
takes 1 second. might not work 10000% with weird vector images but it gets me from matlab to visio quick
