that?

Thanks

You can *not* convert Corel Draw to another format with *any* MS Office
application.
You need to open the file in Corel Draw and "save as" to another format;
or purchase a utility designed to change formats of Corel Draw files.

www.irfanview.com will open .cdr images. Get the plug ins. It is a free
application.

Mary,

According to the irfanview.com website, it does not do .cdr files. Do you
have experience actually converting a .cdr file?

Thanks

Well Nils, I went back and tried again, what is happening is Irfanview is
opening the thumbnail Corel creates.

I am sorry I mislead you.

I can open your .cdr files and convert them to another format. Zip them up and
send them along. Let me know what format you prefer.

Some versions of Office include a CDR graphics filter. It may not work 100%
correctly or with all versions of Draw CDR files, but it's worth a try.

Insert, Picture from file, choose your CDR and see if it works.

If not, try rerunning Setup and choose the optional CDR Graphics filter.

Still no joy? You may need to find someone with Corel Draw to open the file
and save as something that works for you; usually PNG or EMF works best.

Mary, I appreciate your offer but I will need to be able to convert files in
the future. I am sure you don't want me contacting you all the time. I
don't think I need CoralDraw for other uses. But thanks for your help.

Steve helped solve my problem. A friend had sent me a MS link on how to add
the converter to Office. I followed the process but I could not get an
image. The document did not provide all the details on how to use.

Inserting the picture was the key. When I did that, Word converted the file
so that I could at least look at it in Word.

Thanks all..
