convert .cdr to Publisher

[Lisa]

Is there a way to convert or import an existing .cdr file into Publisher? I
added the graphic filter to Publisher, but it still will not show me an
image. Instead I get prompted to choose File Conversion Text Coding. It shows
a preview of RIFFn‹Š; I then select Windows(default). Next it opens
Publisher, but all I see is the same text as above.(RIFFn‹Š) Can anyone help
me on this? Thanks!

Sounds like you're going to File > Open and trying to open it.

CorelDraw is a draw program, not a layout program. You have to import CDR
files as the graphic files they are, by going to Insert > Picture > From
File. It's recommended that you export as an EMF and import that instead,
as Publisher barfs on CDR files from CorelDraw 8 or later.
