cannot save photos from corel draw into word 2000 appear as gobbl.

[JennieE]

I used to be able to work on a photo in corel draw and save it into word
2000. Suddenly I am finding this impossible. It appears to save and it
shows preview but when I open it in draw it appears as jumbled letters and
symbols and nothing I do will convert it back to a picture. Please help.
This is the only way I can use to download same to use in other programmes
such as ebay,

You cannot save from CorelDRAW into Word. You must save from CorelDRAW into
a graphics format that Word can use, then use Insert | Picture | From File
to insert your drawing in Word. Alternatively, you can copy/paste the
drawing from CorelDRAW into Word.

Hi Jennie:

If you really mean "photos", save them into Corel PhotoPaint, not Corel
DRAW. Draw is for line-art with text.

Ideally, save the photos to your hard disk, then use Insert>Picture to
insert them into Word. You don't need PhotoPaint unless you want to crop or
change the photos.

Cheers
