You might want to check out Corel's web site (URL http://www.corel.ca/).
I know of two newsgroups that discuss Draw. They're:
- alt.corel.graphics
- alt.soft-sys.corel.draw
WRT books, there's always the standard "CorelDraw for Dummies"
(depends on what you need -- I was disappointed with their tiny section
on PhotoPaint). There's also "CorelDraw! 5 Unleashed", by Foster Colburn
and Peter McCormick. (I haven't looked at that one; I just found a reference
to it on the web.)
I just found another web reference, to something called the CorelDraw
Journal.
The URL is: http://www.corelnet.com/corelnet/pubs/journal/journal.html
You can download a sample copy of the journal, but you need Adobe's
Acrobat reader (you can download this from their web page, never fear).
Hope this helps,
