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

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.

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.)

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.

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.
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...
