Thanks. That worked. I'd still like to know what I was doing wrong for the next time.
Thanks again,
Tony

Understood. As Cody can attest, I'm not the technical person in our business but if in case it tells you anything, here's what I did:
Extracted the eps file to my desktop.
Imported (with files of type selected as EPS, PS, PRN - PostScript)
Clicked on "import as editable & import text as curves" (default)
Presto! It worked!
I have no idea if I had changed any of the options above if it still would have worked. How's that for some tech support? ;-)

When you IMPORTED or OPENED the file, did you select the "PS, PRN, EPS - Postscript Interpreted" filter? If not, give that a try.

Yes. I did that. That's why I'm confused as to why it didn't work.

Jeannette are you using X3?

Here's the header to his file, which suggests that CorelDraw v12 is not able to read Adobe Illustratorv12 files. I have several v10 Adobe Illustrator EPS files that can be imported by CorelDraw v12.

Illustrator 12 is Illustrator CS2.
The .ai files from that don't play nice with even X3, though I haven't tried exporting EPS from CS2 and import that into X3 (which from this sounds like it works OK)
And, BTW, Illustrator CS3 has been announced and will be out soon. So one more variable to deal with in the near future.
