Is there (Free) software that enables Corel files to just be viewed?

I know some software packages do such as Powerpoint which has a viewer.

I would like to be able to send my files to someone so they can look and approve without having Corel.

I know I can send a jpg but I do not want to do anything extra. I do not want the chance of changing something after I made the jpg, I want to send the real file, get an OK and lase away.

Export it as a .pdf, But then they DO have your real file..

I haven't found a program that will do it yet worth it's salt, however I didn't consider what Bill suggested as I tend to shy away from PDF files. That said, it would be a relatively straight forward procedure for your customer to open and view at their leisure.

Interestingly enough, the best program you can use to open corel files is...*dun dun DUNNN!* Corel.

I always use a jpeg. It's quick, easy, needs nothing special to open and can be discarded if you don't want it.

If you send it as a 72 dpi picture then there's no chance anybody else is going to be able to use your work.
