Exporting files
You can use the File Export command to export files to a variety of bitmap and vector file formats that can be used in other applications.
For example, you can export a file to the Adobe Illustrator (AI) or JPG format. You can also export a file so that it is optimized for use with a
suite of office productivity applications, such as Microsoft Office or Corel WordPerfect Office.
When you are exporting a file, the original file is left open in the drawing window in its existing format.
You can use the File Save as command to save files to various vector formats. After you save a file to a different format, the saved file is
displayed immediately in the drawing window. It is recommended that you first save the file as a Corel DESIGNER file because some file
formats do not support all of the features found in a Corel DESIGNER file.
