Hello.

My thanks to those who responded to my request for help in putting Graphic files into Word and then onto labels. Particular my thanks to Moonshine whe provided me with a explanation and a great video clip and further support.
I'm pleased to say I acheived what I wanted to do - so I'm now able to get my graphics created on Inkscape over to Word and onto labels.
The main thing I found was once I had my graphic onto the label sheet manipulating and sizing it was a struggle, but by selecting another tab on the 'Layout' drop down list the manipulation and sizing was much more pro-active and this enabled me to get the graphic image right into position.
I also had to learn how to put a non-standard label sizing into Word as the labels I am using were not on the pre-installed drop down list. So quite a bit of accurate measuring of the position and size of the labels before I could get the data into the label list. Only need to do it the once though.
So success !

thanks to all.
