Corel Draw

Question

Corel Draw

I have upgraded my computer to Snow Leopard and want to get rid of Corel Draw 11 since it no longer works well and Corel does not support this for Mac anymore. My question is that I have a lot of graphics saved as a cdr files and want to convert them to something else so I can open them. I don't need to save them to work on them, I just want to save them since there are photo montages involved that I may want to print at a later date. I am unable to open any of them and get a message to install Rosetta. I tried just changing the extension to jpg, doc, tiff and this does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion?

iMac G4, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Boot from your Snow Leopard install disc and under options (i don't remember the exact wording but it is at the bottom left of the install window), choose install Rosetta and you should be good to go.

Thank you for your response! If I install Rosetta, can I still delete Corel Draw? (I am now using Print Shop 2 for Mac).

If you have been able to convert them, you should be able to delete Corel. Just make sure that everything has been properly altered and is visible in Rosetta.
