error-free data conversion when these files are
imported into Corel DESIGNER X5.

search capabilities: Corel
DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 was designed to
take advantage of the latest innovations from the
Windows operating system. This ensures that
users can search for their technical design assets
from the operating system dialog boxes. Users
can search for files by author, subject, file type,
date, keyword, or other file property. When
saving a file, users can also easily add keywords or
other descriptive notes to help them organize
their projects. In addition, users can edit file
properties from within the suite’s applications,
from Windows Explorer, or Windows Search. For
Windows XP users, the suite continues to support
Windows Desktop Search or any other search
application that supports the iFilter specification.
