SUMMARY

You can import graphics from CorelDRAW! into Windows Paintbrush by converting them to a PCX file format from CorelDRAW!. The image's colors are not retained when converted to the PCX format. Colors are converted to black and white. However, you can do a screen dump in CorelDRAW, then paste the screen dump into Paintbrush. This keeps the colors intact.
