I would suggest checking out the Corel newsgroups linked somewhere off
Corel's website. (Dig, dig... try
http://www3.corel.com/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/AppLogic+FTContentServer?pagename=Corel/TechnicalServices/Newsgroups)
There you are more likely to find people who are still willing to deal
with the festering piece of crap that is WPO2k/Linux. You might also
try rebuilding corelwine from CVS, which might or might not still be
available at http://opensource.corel.com/sourcecode_cvs.html. That's
the usual cure for the rampant brokenness in Corel's Linux apps.
That said, I'd recommend you migrate to a package that is actually
maintained as soon as possible. Corel's Linux apps didn't work well
when they were released, and as you have seen, it's a pain to try to
keep them working as the rest of the world moves on. Cut your losses
now.
