The easy answer is to upgrade Corel. But if you need to change there is
only one good alternative: Adobe Illustrator. This assumes that you need
to do good illustrations and clean up screen captures for your docs.
Caveat emptor: Like all powerful tools, the learning curve deserves
respect. You will not master one of these programs in a day or two.
Developing proficiency is a continuous process.
