I don't know what format you're saving the Corel files in, but if it's a
vector format, you must choose the option to "Export Text as Curves." That
is the only way to assure that the text will appear exactly as you created
it in Corel. If you export it as text, it's subject to the attributes the
word processing program decides to apply to it.
Cordially,
