Using CDR Files In Corel Ventura 4.2 - #4203


            CorelDRAW *.CDR files cannot be directly imported into
            Corel VENTURA 4.2, however, in CorelDRAW you can export
            the *.CDR file to a format that Corel VENTURA supports.
            There are three basic formats you can use:

              1. meta-file images such as *.CGM or *.WMF
              2. bitmap images such as *.TIF or *.PCX
              3. encapsulated PostScript files, *.EPS

            While other formats can be used, these are the most
            successful file types for importing.

            Note: If you are prompted to export text as text or
            curves, it is recommended that you choose curves.

            Importing *.WMF files

            When importing the Windows Metafile (*.WMF) format, you
            will be prompted for a filename. This is normal and
            occurs so that the import filter can create a placeable
            header for the file.

            Importing *.TIF files

            Corel VENTURA does not support CYMK bitmaps making it
            necessary to ensure that all bitmap images are 24 bit
            uncompressed RGB files. TIFF 5.0 is the most recent
            version supported.

            Importing *.EPS files

            It is best to include a low resolution header with this
            format, this allows you to see what the image will look
            like when placing it in the document. Without the header
            selected, you will only see an "X" in the Corel VENTURA
            frame as the actual PostScript file is not visible on
            screen.

            Note: When using CorelDRAW 4.0, ensure that you have
            revision B3 or higher when exporting to the EPS format.

            If unsuccessful. . .

            If exporting from CorelDRAW or importing into Corel
            VENTURA is not successful, try exporting the file to
            another format or check the settings of the exported
            file. A small adjustment made in the resolution or
            colors, i.e. trying 256 colors as opposed to 16 colors,
            may help.
