Hi Don,
Horse of a different color. You would need to create an outline for each segment of each letter. Consider a capital 'I' with serifs. You would need to create four separate shapes: left wall of main stroke; right wall of main stroke; and shapes representing the top serif strokes and the bottom serif strokes. The key would lie in how well you manipulated the Gradient Fills to represent the highlights and shadows. Gradient fills are key in creating the illusion of shading using CorelDraw in a convincing way. It's all in there—just a matter of exploring the full potential of the fill options. It is definitely worth the effort and uniquely different from Photoshop. It's good to know both ways. if you get stuck on anything, give me a holler. Thanks.
