Operation Manual

Supported file formats | 635
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.
Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX, and RTF) technical notes
Importing a DOC, DOCX, and RTF file
• 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.
• The following Microsoft Word versions are supported: Microsoft Word 97-2007, Microsoft Word for Windows 6/7, Microsoft Word for
Windows 2.x, Microsoft Word 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5.
• The embedded-field method for building indexes in Microsoft Word is supported, but the style-implied method for building indexes is
not.
• The Corel program matches the fonts in the file you are importing with the same or similar fonts, depending on the fonts installed on
your computer. However, the Normal text style in Microsoft Word is converted to the default text style. To set the default text style, click
Tools Options. In the list of categories, double-click Document, enable the Save options as defaults for new document check box,
and then enable the Styles check box.
• Whenever possible, the program automatically converts characters available in the sets “Symbol” or “MS Linedraw” to the corresponding
Windows character set entries.
• Most fonts are proportionally spaced, and text is reflowed when imported. As a result, soft line and page breaks often appear in new
locations if you are converting to a fixed-pitch or nonscalable font.
• When you import text, the page size in the original document is ignored. The text is adjusted to fit the current page size, which may
affect the placement of text.
• If a table is longer then the current page, the table data continues down and off the page.
• Nested tables are not fully supported. The text within a nested table appears within the text box of the top-level table cell as text only (no
bounding lines).
• Nested bullets are not fully supported.
• Objects and graphs are not supported.
• Equations are not maintained — the data and results may be maintained but they are unlinked.
• Text direction is not maintained.
Microsoft Publisher (PUB)

used for creating publications and market materials.
Microsoft Publisher (PUB) technical notes
• Corel DESIGNER imports Microsoft Publisher files from versions 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2010.
• Exporting is not supported.
• Two-page spread is imported as separate pages.
• Master pages are not supported. A master page is imported as a separate layer on the page. The name of the layer corresponds to the
name of the master page in Microsoft Publisher.
• Headers and footers are not supported. Text from the header/footer is placed in the appropriate position on each page.
• Tables are supported. Not all border types are supported. If a border type is not supported, it is replaced with an outline of the desired
thickness and color.
• Border art is not supported.
• Styles are not supported. Style and formatting attributes are mapped to text.
• Some underline styles are not supported. Unsupported underline styles are replaced with the best-match underline style available in Corel
