CorelDRAW X6

[flower]

Does anybody else have this program? I watch the videos, but I'm so lost. They explain the tools but not HOW to get clip art, at least not that I have found. The only way I can find clip art is to go searching all over the net...there has to be an easier way, I just haven't found it....any help or insight would be very appreciated.

Might be some on the disk. I just got the program yesterday cause I ain't gonna pay the extortion for word but when I used WP years ago there was a bunch of clip art on the disk.

No disk...this is all internet, I did find a site with digital clip art, and they want 75 cents per...that's outrageous. What is WP? I have Microsoft Office 2007, and it runs great on windows 8...joy! Windows 8 allows me to revert to an earlier kind of virtual windows 7, and Vista

I have used Printmaster for ages, and I have the latest version, but while I got it to run on Windows 7, it won't work correctly on Windows 8, even with trying to run it on a virtual older whatever it is.. No matter what I did, it wouldn't save any of my work, so I decided to up-grade to a real art program...$500.00 and .....no clip art....??? the ad said 10,000.00 clip art images...where??? All the tutorials show the art already there, and how to manipulate it, not how they got it there. This program can do some awesome stuff, but I just don't get why they wouldn't have some kind of clip art without making me pay more money...I just got it, so maybe there is a way, which is why I asked if anyone here had CorelDraw X6.


Printmaster had all the clip art on the internet too, the disk was just to install and run the program...but clip art was free, and all I had to do was click on the thumb nail in the art and project section.

WP was word perfect.
Which corel bought long time ago.
any chance you could simply cut and paste into a coreldraw drawing?
and if printmaster is an old dos based program there is a good dos box program that runs dos programs.
naaaaa that would be too easy.
have you tried open office?

Hi...I can indeed cut and paste...I'm bummed that I will HAVE to. I paid so much for the program, I just thought it should have some ready to use clip art. I didn't want to have to do all the work, sometimes you just want to make a nice card for the grandkids Birthday (3 have B-days in December)

Printmaster has been around long enough to be a DOS program I guess, but the latest version was designed for Vista, and it's a windows based program. I can get pics anyplace. I can even draw my own, but sometimes it's nice to type in turkey or Birthday cake, and see a bunch of choices.

Word perfect....I never used. I never looked in MS office to see if they have anything, so I will go now and see if there is anything usable. On the up-side I found a bunch of Disney characters...I couldn't use the clips for anything professional or public because of copy rights, but the grandkids will like it on a home made card from Nana.

I got on Yahoo again...and typed in clip art, and got the same stuff I was seeing before....then I decided that instead of just "clipart" this time, I typed in "bird clipart"....tons of birds, the same with flowers, books and fish...anything... even Jewish clipart. So I have all the clipart I want totally free, I just "save picture as" and even I made a clipart folder to put what I want in it, NOW I'm happy....No wonder CorelDraw didn't even bother, so much clipart is all over the web already.
