Welcome to the CorelDRAW Zone

This is your opportunity to join with other Corel DRAW Users from around the
world, Live On-Line, as we come together to help each other
Master the Power of Corel DRAW.

This CorelZONE is a Voice-Over-Internet enabled room and you should have a
headset to be able to participate in the room and get the most out of this experience.
You can participate by using the text chat section of the room but voice is highly
recommended for the maximum learning experience. Also other than dial-up
connection is recommended. But if your on dial-up at least give it a try. We don't
use web cams because it tends to slow down the audio depending on the
connection speed of the various members.

How to find the Corel Zone on PalTalk Scene...

Once you have PalTalk installed to get to the room do as follows: Start PalTalk,
Go to Browse Rooms, Look for Computers & Technology,
Under Computers & Technology look for Software, Click on the Software Room Title t
o get to Software then click on the Corel Zone to join the room.

If this sounds like a tool you think you could benefit from and would
like to become part of the awesome opportunity send us an e-mail
and let us know if you have downloaded Pal Talk Scene . You can
download it for FREE however you will get a lot of pop-ups along
with the FREE version. If you find that you enjoy our On-Line Forum
you may want to do a yearly subscription to PalTalk Plus
or $39.95 but it's not a must.

When you download PalTalk Scene and establish a Nick Name do a Pal search and please
look for me and add me to your pals list. My PalTalk Nickname is graphicsguy.

Technical Support Rooms available to you. You can find it by
browsing the rooms. They are very helpful and answer most if not
all of your questions LIVE On-Line.
