Hi Joan-
What I've had to do with Frame in the past involved printing the file to
postscript. When you do that on a PC, you can set the printer options for
Encapsulated Postscript. Then, simply import the eps file into Frame. I
don't know CorelDraw, but I would think it would have a "save as eps" format
available. That may be simpler.
Cheers!
