SUMMARY

The CorelDraw! (.cdr) filter that ships with Microsoft Publisher can actually import other types of CorelDraw! files besides those with a .cdr extension. It also imports Pattern (.pat) and Corel Template (.cdt) files. These file types do not, however, show up in the Insert Picture dialog box.

NOTE: This filter does not import Corel MetaFile Exchange (.cmx) files.
