SUMMARY

This article describes how to export graphics from CorelDraw 5.0 to Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher.

MORE INFORMATION

CorelDraw 5.0 can export graphics in most graphics formats. Some of the more common formats CorelDraw supports include:

   Bitmap (*.bmp)
   Compuserve bitmap (*.gif)
   Computer graphic metafile (*.cgm)
   Jpeg Graphics (*.jpg)
   Paintbrush (*.pcx)
   Targa (*.tga)
   Tiff bitmap (*.tif)
   Windows metafile (*.wmf)
   AutoCAD (*.dxf)
   EPS (*.eps)
   HPGL Graphics (*.plt)
   WordPerfect Graphics (*.wpg)
   Macintosh PICT (*.pct)

The default graphic format for CorelDraw graphics is Corel Presentation Exchange (*.cmx). This format cannot be read by Word or Publisher. To use the graphic in either of these applications, you must export it in a graphic format that they support.

To export a graphic from CorelDraw 5.0 so you can use it in Word or Publisher, follow these steps:

Select the graphic.
On the File menu, click Export.
In the List Files Of Type box, click one of the graphics formats supported by Word or Publisher. (Windows metafile [*.wmf] is a good one.)
Verify the file name and the folder in which the file is located.
Click OK.

Your file can now be inserted in either Word or Publisher.
