Corel Presents is now part of the Corel WordPerfect Suite, and the Corel Motion 3-D animating program will be part of a forthcoming rival to Adobe Premiere. Instead, CorelDraw 7 focuses on streamlining and refining its core capabilities, with a few small, strategic additions. Corel has also decided to retire some old CorelDraw versions. CorelDraw 7 will be the Windows 95 and Windows NT version, while only CorelDraw 5 will continue as the Windows 3.x product.

The speed and interface improvements are shared by Photo-Paint 7.
