Accessing Symbols
Symbols are located in Section C of the Clipart Manual (immediately following page 400 of the
Clipart section), and are referenced in the same manner as the clipart, but are not Opened or
Imported into a document.

Note: The CorelDRAW symbols can be accessed directly from CorelDRAW provided that all of
the symbols have been previously installed.  If all of the symbols are not available to you, install
the symbols in the same manner you would install True Type fonts.  The symbols are located on 
CD-ROM #1 in the FONTS\SYMBOLS folder.  Refer to Fax on Demand # 3454 for information
about installing additional True Type fonts.

To access a Symbol:
1.  Click View, Dockers, Symbols, or click on the Star icon on the ribbon bar.

2.  The Symbols RollUp will appear.  Locate the appropriate category for the desired symbol in
the list box.

3.  From the Clipart manual, locate the Symbol number and type it in the # list box.  The chosen
symbol will be highlighted.

4.  Drag and drop the symbol onto the document.

Templates
Templates are found on CD-ROM #1 in the TEMPLATE folder.  To access a Template, click
File, New From Template, click CorelDRAW templates, and click next.  Choose from a list of
available templates.

Photos and Bitmaps 
Photos and Bitmaps can be found on CD-ROM #3.  Photos are in the PHOTOS folder and the
Bitmaps are located under the IMAGES folder. To access them, click File, Import,  and click
Wavelet Compressed Bitmap (WI) for photos and TIFF Bitmaps (TIF) for all other bitmaps in the
Files of Type list box.  Refer to the Clipart manual to properly associate the desired image to its
respective category.

Floating Objects
Floating Objects  are found on CD-ROM #3 in the OBJECTS folder.  To access them, they must
be opened in Corel PHOTO PAINT™ or imported into CorelDRAW.

                    3D Models           
There are 2 types of 3D Models located on CD-ROM #3. The first one is in the
3DMODELS\D3D folder and can be opened in CorelDREAM 3D.  In CorelDREAM 3D a scene
must be rendered in order to save the file as a bitmap image.  Refer to the online Help in
CorelDREAM 3D, or the CorelDREAM 3D tutorial for instructions about rendering a scene. 
Once the file is saved as a bitmap image it can be imported into CorelDRAW.  The other type of
3D model is located in the 3DMODELS\3DMF folder.  These can be imported into
CorelDREAM 3D, imported into CorelDRAW, or opened into Corel PHOTO-PAINT.
