I don't have Corel 8, but I can tell you how to alter the screen angles and frequencies in Corel 7:

In the PRINT dialog box, click on OPTIONS.

In the OPTIONS dialog box, click on the SEPARATIONS tab.

Enable PRINT SEPARATIONS

Click on ADVANCED settings button

You'll see the separations listed.  You'll also see selection buttons for
various types of screens for the device you're using.  Instead of the
Corel default, select AGFA balanced screening, or another setting that
pleases you.

Alternatively, you can change the settings individually.

Click on the one you want to adjust.
Below, you should see input boxes for the screen frequency and angle.
Type in the screen frequency and the angle, only use an industry standard
frequency and angle, not the Corel defaults.  Sorry I don't know what they
would be for your situation.

I have no idea how to make it work in CorelDRAW 8, but I can suggest a
workaround.

The best color management is in Illustrator and Freehand. Both can
import CorelDRAW 4, 5 and 6 formats. (The CDR 6 import filters are not
always perfect because they were reverse engineered.) So, if CorelDRAW
can save the graphic to a previous version, preferably CDR 5, then you
can haul it into Illustrator 7 or Freehand 7 or 8, and do your output
from there. You could also try exporting from CorelDRAW in other
formats as well, such as AI or EPS.

I realize this does not answer the original question, but at least
maybe it will help you get the job out the door so you can go back to
having a life.

The screen frequency and angle settings I used were in the tech manuals
that came with the AGFA imagesetter.
