Hi there, someone has sent me a .cdr file, is there a way to import it into
Publisher?

Thanks,
Ulli

You can import a .cdr file in 2007. Not sure about the version however. I cannot
import CorelDraw 12 images into Publisher. Your sender can convert the .cdr in
Corel to a .wmf or .emf or any other format.
Try importing, Insert, picture, from file.

If your sender cannot convert the file, send it to me and I will convert it for
you.

I don't think the CorelDraw import filter has changed since it was
introduced, and that was for version 7 IIRC. It didn't even do that
properly.

No.

Have them send you a EPS, TIFF or JPEG. But you won't be able to edit it.

He did send the .cdr to me. Part of the image was a bitmap and part a vector. A
technical drawing. I sent it back to him as a vector and a .png. Some parts were
editable.
