The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c
 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Summary:
 
Parts of a graphic from CorelDRAW 2.0 or 2.1 may be missing when you
copy the graphic into Word using the Clipboard. This problem occurs
because CorelDRAW versions 2.0 and 2.1 are not 100-percent-OLE/DDE
compatible.
 
Although the screen image may appear incomplete, the picture should
print correctly to a non-PostScript printer.
 
Workarounds
-----------
 
There are two workarounds you can use to avoid this problem:
 
 - Upgrade to CorelDRAW version 3.0b2. This version of CorelDRAW
   supports OLE/DDE. Bring the drawing into CorelDRAW 3.0b2 and then
   cut and paste it back into Word.
 
-or-
 
 - Save the drawing in a different graphic format, then import it into
   Word. The following are some formats you can use when saving from
   CorelDRAW to import into Word:
 
      WMF - Windows Metafile
      PCX - PC Paintbrush picture
      BMP - Bitmap Picture
      TIFF - Tagged Image File Format (must have version 3.0b2)
      EPS - Encapsulated PostScript (must have version 3.0b2)
 
        Note: You must print to a PostScript printer to correctly
        print graphics in the EPS format.
