What mac do you have? If you have an older mac- then you need to get yourself a copy Virtual PC - its an emulation software that recreates an environment. Once thats done - you need to install the OS and then install the software.

Once the VirtualPC is installed- its like a regular PC with dos prompt. The difference is it first boots up MacOS and then you start the other as a program.

It is 100% possible to install Corel 12 on the new intel macs, using the MAC OS. There is a downloadable patch.

I am a corel (Mac) user myself and was planning my next computer. I was holding back because of the corel on mac installation issues. I've been assured that with this patch, corel 12 and even X3 will work smoothly on MAC OS.
Would you still want to use windows?
