Unable to import svg file format images into MS Word

Hi,

I am unable to insert pictures that I had saved from Matlab in .svg format. 

Now in insert pictures option, it does not even show the svg format images and I have to select all files for it to be seen but still it imports only the image outline with it's name written in center and not the entire image. 

This function was working fine few weeks back, not sure if there is a bug recently or something else. Any help is highly appreciated. I am using word 2016. 

I want to attach the svg file but the attachment is not supported for this thread discussion. 

Thanks,

Ashwani
