And from bug 7257:

We will not implement support for EMF in Qt.

I am wondering what the rational is for this decision. I agree with  
the person who filed the bug:

EMF is the only native Vector-Format on WINDOWS. And not to be able to  
copy/paste or at least export EMF graphics into other (native) WINDOWS  
programs, especially WORD and POWERPOINT, is a serious drawback for  
any Qt-program that has to compete with native MFC-WINDOWS programs.


So- are we supposed to use bitmaps for copying to PowerPoint and Word?
