Don't feel too bad - the OS/2 version of DRAW! v2.5 (the ORIGINAL
32-bit CorelDRAW!) has the same problem exporting to bitmapped formats
(including TIFs, GIFs, and just about everything else). The most
reliable methods I've come across is either using products that can
import .CDR files, or exporting from DRAW! as metafiles (.WMFs with
Windows versions, .METs for the OS/2 version).
Your friend and mine,
Matt
