There are several reasons for importing CorelDraw files into QuarkXpress
rather than outputting directly from CorelDraw:

Printers and prepress houses have advised me of color separation
problems with Corel and strongly prefer Quark for the color separation
function.

Many printers have no capability for handling CorelDraw. Most are Mac
house and are only familiar with Adobe Illustrator (Photoshop).

Most importantly, I find CorelDraw and excellent drawing program but a
terrible publishing program. I did a 156 page book for the CNN 'Cold
War' series -- many, many words with only a few illustrations (both
vector and bitmap): Quark for the words (and color-separated output) and
CorelDraw and PhotoPaint for the Vector and bitmap drawings
resepectively.

Using Quark and Corel in combination works and, I believe, serves the
intent of the Quark and CorelDraw intended application emphasis.
