Need Help Up-Versioning Corel File from 5 to 6

In summary, up-versioning a Corel file means converting it to a newer version of the software in order to open it in a newer version of Corel. This is necessary to avoid compatibility issues. To up-version a file, you must open it in the newer version of Corel and save it as a new file. Up-versioning should not cause any changes or loss of data, but it is recommended to make a backup of the original file. Down-versioning is not possible, so if you need to use the file in an older version of Corel, you will need to save it as a different file type or export it to a compatible format.

Help!

I uninstalled Corel 5 in favour of 6 and now I need to edit a file that isn't compatible with 6.

Does anyone have Corel 5 or less that they could up-version a file for me?

Corel 6 doesn't have an import feature for earlier versions? Usually it's the higher levels that can't be read by lower level versions.

Let me check what we have at work, because we used to use Corel and had it on several systems. I now use Photoshop Elements.
