Question:	How can I cut a graphic out of CorelDRAW 9 or 10, if I only have it in a bitmap format?
Answer:	Bitmaps need to be traced first, because only curves can be cutted.  If the additional graphic tool "CorelTRACE" has been installed with CorelDRAW, you can select the bitmap in CorelDRAW und a toolbar with bitmap tools will be displayed. Select the icon "Trace bitmap" (or the menu option "Bitmaps/Trace Bitmap"). CorelTRACE will then be opened in which you can select different tracing methods. Normally you should select the "Trace/By Outline" method.  If you then close CorelTRACE, the vector result will be placed over the bitmap in CorelDRAW and can be cutted with CoCut.
