I used to be able to work on a photo in corel draw and save it into word
2000. Suddenly I am finding this impossible. It appears to save and it
shows preview but when I open it in draw it appears as jumbled letters and
symbols and nothing I do will convert it back to a picture. Please help.
This is the only way I can use to download same to use in other programmes
such as ebay,

You cannot save from CorelDRAW into Word. You must save from CorelDRAW into
a graphics format that Word can use, then use Insert | Picture | From File
to insert your drawing in Word. Alternatively, you can copy/paste the
drawing from CorelDRAW into Word.

Hi Jennie:

If you really mean "photos", save them into Corel PhotoPaint, not Corel
DRAW. Draw is for line-art with text.

Ideally, save the photos to your hard disk, then use InsertPicture to
insert them into Word. You don't need PhotoPaint unless you want to crop or
change the photos.

Cheers
