Hello,

working a lot in Designer X4 makes fun and is very efficient, but I still think about the right way to get the technical drawings to MS Word and PowerPoint with vector quality and not as a pixel image.

Could someone please suggest me the proper method to do so?

 

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Corel DESIGNER X4 provides an "Export for Office..." wizard that selects the best possible/ compatible file format and settings for publishing to specific Office applications / purposes.

Using "Editing" as targeted use will create a vector file in an MS Office compatible format (WMF or EMF).
As MS Office applications do not support all of the graphics formats and features that Corel DESIGNER provides you will potentially see limitations of the export file in the preview (i.e. line weights, bezier curves, halos not being fully supported).

Using "Compatibility" might be the better choice in some cases (depending on what graphics features you have used) as this creates a visually integer output (pixel image for full MS Office compatibility).

Regards,
Klaus.

Hi Klaus,

thanks for your answer.

I tested the export for office feature and it produces nice results using the compatibility and professional print option, but then a pixel graphic is created.

When using the Editing option the edges are note smooth inside PowerPoint 2007 on Win.

Is there a way to get the later one smooth as well?

 

Thanks

Christian
