SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the compatibility issues between Corel 5 and Corel 6, specifically regarding file editing. Users have noted that Corel 6 lacks an import feature for files created in earlier versions, making it impossible to directly edit Corel 5 files in Corel 6.

The conversation highlights the challenges of transitioning between software versions in graphic design applications.

  • Investigate alternative graphic design software for file editing.
  • Learn about file conversion tools that may assist with version compatibility.

Help!

I uninstalled Corel 5 in favour of 6 and now I need to edit a file that isn't compatible with 6.

Does anyone have Corel 5 or less that they could up-version a file for me?

Corel 6 doesn't have an import feature for earlier versions? Usually it's the higher levels that can't be read by lower level versions.

Let me check what we have at work, because we used to use Corel and had it on several systems. I now use Photoshop Elements.
 
do you have the corel 5 still?--(and an 'old' computer around?)
