Cursor Resource (CUR)

The Windows 3.x/NT Cursor Resource (.cur files) file format is used to create cursors for Windows 3.1, Windows NT, and Windows 95

interfaces. It supports cursor graphic elements that are used in Windows pointers. You can select a color for Transparent and Inverse masks.

The Windows 3.x/NT Cursor Resource file format supports a maximum image size of 32 × 32 pixels.

Cursor Resource (CUR) technical notes

• Corel programs support the following color depths when importing .cur files: 1-bit black-and-white, 16-color (4-bit) paletted, and 256-

color (8-bit) paletted.

Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX, or RTF)

You can import the following Microsoft Word files:

• Microsoft Word Document (DOC) files from versions 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. In addition, files saved as DOC from MS Word 2007 and

2010.

• Microsoft Word Open XML Document (DOCX) files. This file format is based on Open XML and uses ZIP compression. It was introduced

with Microsoft Word 2007.

• Rich Text Format (RTF) files. Rich Text Format (RTF) is a text format that stores plain text and text formatting, such as bold. When you

import an RTF file to CorelDRAW, the text and any embedded Windows Metafile Format (WMF) graphics are transferred. However,

graphic elements are not transferred in an RTF file exported from Corel DESIGNER.

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

Click File Import.

2 Choose DOC, DOCX - MS Word or RTF - Rich Text Format from the All file formats list box.

3 Choose the drive and folder where the file is stored.

4 Click the filename.

5 Click Import.

If the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack was not previously installed on your computer, the Install compatibility pack dialog box

appears. The installation of the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack is highly recommended. To proceed with the installation, click OK and

follow the instructions in the installation wizard.

6 In the Importing/Pasting text dialog box, you can choose to maintain or discard text formatting. You can also choose to import tables as

tables or text.

Position the import cursor in the drawing window, and click.

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.
