Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX, or RTF)

You can import the following Microsoft Word files:

•
 
Microsoft Word Document (DOC) files from versions 97, 2000, and 2002.
•
 
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.

Importing a DOC file
•
 
The following Microsoft Word versions are supported: Microsoft Word 97 -2007, Microsoft Word for Windows 6/7, Microsoft Word for Windows 2.x, Microsoft Word 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5.
•
 
The embedded-field method for building indexes in Microsoft Word is supported, but the style-implied method for building indexes is not.
•
 
The Corel program matches the fonts in the file you are importing with the same or similar fonts, depending on the fonts installed on your computer. However, the Normal text style in Microsoft Word is converted to the default text style. To set the default text style, click Tools CorelDRAW onestep Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX, or RTF) Customization. In the list of categories, double-click Document, double-click Styles, and choose a text style.
•
 
Whenever possible, the program automatically converts characters available in the sets “Symbol” or “MS Linedraw” to the corresponding Windows character set entries.
•
 
Most fonts are proportionally spaced, and text is reflowed when imported. As a result, soft line and page breaks often appear in new locations if you are converting to a fixed-pitch or nonscalable font.
•
 
When you import text, the page size in the original document is ignored. The text is adjusted to fit the current page size, which may affect the placement of text.
•
 
Footnotes or endnotes created in Microsoft Word 3.x, 4.x, 5.0, or 5.5 are not supported.
•
 
Tables are converted to text in place (in rectangles). The total height and width are determined by the original table.
•
 
If the file contains more than one table, each is placed on a new page.
•
 
If a table is longer then the current page, the table data continues down and off the page.
•
 
Nested tables are not fully supported. The text within a nested table appears within the text box of the top-level table cell as text only (no bounding lines).
•
 
Nested bullets are not fully supported.
•
 
Objects and graphs are not supported.
•
 
Some image types are not supported.
•
