I want to use a graphic off of Wilipedia, which they say I can, but the format is .svg (structured vector graphic), which I have never heard of and PowerPoint doesn't seem to like it either. Has anyone heard of that type? Is there an easy way to convert it?

SVG is a proprietary format used to generate scalable images - kinda like (in a really crude sense) what flash is for web based video.

Your best bet may be to use the print-screen function in windoze and taking that capture to MSPaint (or photoshop or other graphics tool) to crop the image and save as a .jpg or .bmp for use in powerpoint.

Well I gave that a try but the screen print is pretty indiscriminate. I could not grab just what I wanted and then I ended up with the part I wanted cut off when I put it into paint.
