CorelDRAW (for Mac) compatibility with Leopard

Greetings:

This is my first post, so bear with me!

I am using an older machine (PowerBook G4 - Titanium - 1GHz) with the Mac OS X 10.2.8 version. I use the graphics software CorelDRAW (for Mac), and am currently using version 10.

I just purchased Leopard, and really want to install it. However, I realize that I will need to do a complete "Erase & Install" because it is not possible to just upgrade from 10.2.8. My obvious fear is this:

WILL MY DEAR CORELDRAW V. 10 FOR MAC STILL INSTALL ONTO AND BE COMPATIBLE WITH LEOPARD ?

I had thought about running CorelDRAW from Bootcamp, but from what I've read, Bootcamp only works on Intel-based operating systems (which this machine does not have).

A newer version of CorelDRAW (for Mac), version 11, is available, but it may be that this will also not install onto and be compatible with Leopard. If necessary, I could purchase this newer version (11) if someone out there has had success with it on Leopard.

I hope someone out there can answer this question. I am terrified of not being able to access all of my old CorelDRAW files if things go horribly wrong. So, I will hold off on installing Leopard until I get an answer from someone, somewhere!

Thanks for your time, Arden

PowerBook G4 (Titanium), Mac OS X (10.2.x)

My Corel Photo-Paint 11 didn't work after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard - CorelDRAW 11 worked.

Everything works fine now after applying Corel's "CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 11 Service Pack 1 (Macintosh)" a second time (the first time was after installing Corel Draw in Tiger some time ago). The patch can easily be found at http://www.corel.com .
