It's not necessary to go into preview to cut a color bitmap to the
clipboard.  Highlighting the desired objects in wire-frame mode and
pressing CONTROL-INSERT will copy the object (color attributes and
all) into the clipboard.  No, it's not a bitmap, but a metafile--the
final form is determined by the destination application.  If the
clipboard object is pasted into a vector-based application, the
resultant image will be vector-based; if it is a bitmaped application
such as paintbrush, Windows will convert the metafile to a bitmap.

Last thing: it helps to scale the wire-frame CorelDraw object to the
desired destination size before copying to the clipboard (most of the
time - some apps paste from the clipboard to a fixed size regardless
of the size of the original image).
