You can use Insert | Picture to insert CDR files. You can then "export" them
as JPEGs or GIFs. See http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm.
The MSKB article "The limitations of graphics import filters in Word 2003
and in Word 2002" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290362) lists these
limitations:

The CorelDRAW graphics filter (Cdrimp32.flt) supports .cdr, .cdt, .cmx, and
..pat files from CorelDRAW 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 9.0.

This filter has the following limitations:
a. Object and PostScript texture fills are replaced with solid gray
fills.
b. Gradient fills are split into monocolored stripes.
There is no support for the following:
a. CorelDRAW preferences, such as page size and orientation, units, grid,
and guidelines
b. Lenses and powerclips
c. Pages, layers, and groups
d. OLE objects
e. Rotated bitmaps
f. Vector fills
g. Multi-area paragraph text

I have a full collection of Corel CDR format images. My version of COREL

DRAW
is very old... So old that it will not run on Windows XP in any

compatibility
mode. I just want to access the CDR format files that I have. Is there a
filter for WORD to convert CDR images to BITMAP? I have not been able to
locate any program online for doing this...

Please help me!
