File Types
CorelDraw9 will open several types of files. The most common is a file
created in CorelDraw, which will have an extension of CDR. You can also
open CGM, EMF, WMF, WPG, AI, EPS to mention a few. An even wider range
of file types can be imported into a CorelDraw document. A file that can
be opened in CorelDraw can most often be fully edited, unlike many formats
that are imported which can only be placed, repositioned and resized.

Choose File Type
If you leave the File of Type selection set to the default which is All
File Formats all files that CorelDraw can open will be listed. It is often
easier to specify the type of file you wish to open, i.e., CorelDraw (CDR)
files. Only the CDR files will be listed, which can make it easier to
choose the file you need in directory with many files. |
