CorelDraw cannot export bitmaps in colour.  But, there is an easy workaround
for this.  What you do is go to full screen preview (I'm assuming you have
version 2.0 of CorelDraw) and then press your Print Screen key.  This pastes
the image to the windows' clipboard.  Then go into windows paintbrush and
click on edit and then paste.  (Make sure before you do this that you have
maximized the screen and have removed the toolbox on the side).  Then you
can save the file in whatever format that paintbrush offers.  I believe it
has a 16 colour option.
