Copy from PPPx7 to Corel changes transparent b/ to white b/g

Hail the reader,
I have knocked out the B/g of a photo using PPPX7 - great result.
Proceed! Ctrl A >Ctrl C >Ctrl V in Corel Draw X7
This changes the transparent b/g to a white b/g
What am I doing wrong please?
I need the transparent b/g to remain as I must superimpose the human head
on a floral b/g?
thank you
Hoping for a reply from those who know better.
Good wishes to the readers and helpers!

I have not used Corel products in years but it sounds to me that you are exporting your image in a format that does not support transparency such as JPEG.

TIFF, PNG, PSD are file formats that do support transparency. Also make sure when you export that you are selecting an option to retain transparency.

Mike W. may have additional insights when he checks in.

Export as a PNG or a tiff with transparency, don't copy and paste. Then import it into CD.
