How can I import Corel CDR format images?
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! |

I don't believe Word can do what you want, but you might look into a graphics
conversion program. They range anywhere from FREE on up. I'm most familiar with Graphic Converter on the Mac, which is terrific.

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 -- Suzanne S.
