Having used Corel since Corel 3 right through to X3 and X4 I am fairly, but not completely, familiar with it.
I have only had X5 a day, but already I find it much better than X3 (I rarely used X4 as it was on a spare computer). Some of the gain may be Windows 7 related, but much is down to Corel.
One thing that was great was the tutorials on the DVD. There was NO MUSIC !!!! brilliant. They were useful tutorials too and easy to repeat bits of until they were clear.
And having a hard copy manual, like the earlier versions used to do (though those had all the clipart printed too which isn't realy necessary nowadays) is very nice. Served as a useful refresher. And the book quality, with its DVD holder and protective case gave pleasure.
CorelDraw is a brilliant program if like me you do layouts with pictures. To me much better for newsletters than Publisher, which suits those who are not too good at laying things out (though perhaps for a multi page mostly text newsletter Publisher would be good). Corel PhotoPaint complements it perfectly.

p.s. since there wasn't Corel on my new Win 7 computer I expected to have to pop in an earlier version CD for this upgrade. But wasn't asked at all. Maybe it found remnants on my data drive.

I have used CorelDraw since the very first edition. Regrettably with X5 their customer help service has now declined to a new low. Very unhelpful when I used this after installation of the upgrade. The problem I was having with Mailmerge wasn't solved to my satisfaction, the service rep even telling me that despite the Corel Mailmerge program showing a screen allowing me to import ODBC files and then showing excel as an importable alternative, the program didn't allow me to do this ! ! I was then told that the help service was now closed as the problem was solved. It is fair to say that the latter occurred when I was transferred to a second rep who took over the problem for some reason - the first was initally much more helpful but I didn't get very far with her.
They were also unable to find the cause of the whole program crashing on several occasions when a complete return to desktop occurred without even leaving any trace in a backup file of the work I was doing, merely suggesting that some customers had found this due to a faulty memory bank or mouse. I am following this up still but haven't found an answer yet.
I have had several other things which I haven't been able to trace either in the manual or through the online help (e.g. how to stitch scanned artwork) and have had to give up on these for the time being.
Interestingly, they never seem to respond to suggestions for improving the program.
Probably time for me to look for an alternative.

This upgrade was forced on me by v9's inability to cope with Windows 7 64 bit OS. Installed fine and seems to be behaving itself. Also appears to be faster printing/saving than the older version.

We have using Corel draw for over 10 years, upgrading this time from X3. X5 has a few more additions making it even better.
