My Corel 9 clipart is all in the book that came with it. Most of it is pretty nasty, too. Love....Jill

Chris, a couple of ways...
If you are importing, just right-click in the file view window and change your view type to Thumbnails...
Or you could go to Tools>Scrapbook and use the clipart viewer thingy....

Hiya Chris, If you did a full installation, the Corel thumbnails should appear in your windows explorer. You can also do a web search for Romcat, it's a free Corel file viewer where you can associate and search Corel files by key words.
Havin' fun,
Checkers

If you have the Exploder window's view set to Thumbnails(right click>View>Thumbnails).

Corel also has a handy in program feature called the scrapbook. Its a docker that can be opened and used to view clipart inside of corel versus leaving, searching, import, and place. With scrapbook open you can drag and drop from most any clipart collection(havent tried with WMF files..AI EPS work well.)

D/L a copy of THUMBS PLUS share ware....try it you will like it..

I've use the scrap book feature but the clip art that I used wasn't all that great. I put this cross into my cut program and had to rework it by removing about 3/4s of the nodes and converting it to curves. I enjoyed the practice but it was a bit of work.
Posted by Doug Downey (Member # 829) on :
Here's the secret....open the clipart from the scrapbook by dragging it onto the screen. Make it big on the screen/change all the colors to white and keep the black image. Convert to black and white bitmap/trace with the new power trace and then you have less nodes and colors. Make all the colors you want then.

yes, Thank you
I did not know how to find the file veiwer..also you and copy and paste from the viewer, WMF works as well.
Thanks for all the help Lovelady

I like Romcat.
You can download catalogs for different corel versions, and the search feature saves a lot of time.

Romcat...
even use it to find my own files, just 'save as' then insert keywords when you save a file. Later you can build a catalogue with romcat ... we update the catalogue about once evry 2 weeks (takes 10 minutes or so) and voila you can put your finger on any file within seconds...

Ditto with Romcat Posted by Chris Lovelady (Member # 2540) on :
Romcat?
do they have a website?
Posted by Tony McDonald (Member # 1158) on :
Heres the address. You will need to download the catalog for the corel version you're using.
