I've not had the greatest luck using CorelDraw graphics directly in Frame--most of the manuals I've been editing recently were created by my predecessor and the graphics were linked tif's which were originally AutoCAD drawings opened in CorelDraw, edited, then exported as tif's. However, regarding trying other output formats, recently I tried exporting graphics from CorelDraw as wmf's, choosing text in the "export text as" dialog box (as opposed to curves). Seems to work well for me.
