Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX, or RTF)

You can import the following Microsoft Word files:

Because Microsoft Word is a proprietary file format, it’s sometimes difficult to precisely import all aspects of a Microsoft Word file in CorelDRAW. To successfully import text with fewer inconsistencies, it is recommended that you install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack. If the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack was not previously installed on your computer, you will be prompted to install it when you attempt to import text.

To import a Microsoft Word file Back to Top

*

Any embedded Windows Metafile Format (WMF) or Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) graphics are preserved in the imported file. If the file contains other graphic elements, these are lost during conversion and do not appear in CorelDRAW.

*

You can place your imported text by dragging a marquee to define a paragraph text box, or by pressing the Spacebar to place the imported text in the default location.

If you import text and choose not to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, the Install compatibility pack dialog box will reappear the next time you import text, unless you enable the Do not ask me this question again check box. You can reactivate the Install compatibility pack dialog box by clicking Tools Options. In the list of categories, double-clicking Workspace, clicking Warnings, and enabling the Install Compatibility Pack for DOC and DOCX check box from the Show warnings when list box.

To export a Microsoft Word file Back to Top

*

The filename extension for the format you choose is appended to the filename automatically.

Only text in drawings can be exported to the Microsoft Word file formats. Other graphical elements, such as lines, curves, and rectangles, are lost during conversion and do not display in the file. To export graphics, use a graphic format such as WMF.
