Corel Draw v.10 and v.5

[Guest_imported]

I have just recently upgraded to Corel Draw 10 from Corels Draw 5. Is there any possible way I can use my version 5 files with version 10???? Please Help!
Thanks in advance,
txcrew

Corel 10 will open any previous version document, however after you have added elements using V10, you have the option of saving the document under either V10 or a previous version. I don't think you can save it as a version 5 document, I'm not sure. Depending on what processes you use in the document will depend on whether they will be available in a previous saved version.

Hi txcrew,

Pixelchik is correct about being able to open up files saved in previous versions of corel. You can also save the files you create in corel v10 to a previous version by doing the following:

1) click on -file- on your menu bar

2) click on save as

3) the "save drawing" window should be open on your screen. Look to the right and locate the box that says version above it

4) click on the flyout menu button, at the right of the box

5) then select version 5.0, provided that v5.0 is still offered as a choice in v10

6) enter the name of your file, in the file name box

7) then click on the save button

Note:
Every time you open one of your version 5.0 files and work in them you will have to repeat the steps above in order to keep them as v5.0 files. If you save one as a v10 file by mistake just follow the steps above to convert it back to a v5.0 file

Happy computing,
