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 Corel DESIGNER, 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 Corel
DESIGNER. 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
1
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.
7
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 Corel DESIGNER.
You can place your imported text by dragging a marquee to define a paragraph text box, or by pressing the Spacebar to place the
imported text in the default location.
If you import text and choose not to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, the Install compatibility pack dialog box will
reappear the next time you import text, unless you enable the Do not ask me this question again check box. You can reactivate
the Install compatibility pack dialog box by clicking Tools Options. In the list of categories, double-clicking Workspace, clicking
Warnings, and enabling the Install Compatibility Pack for DOC and DOCX check box from the Show warnings when list box.
