[Freehand] FH to Corel or PageMaker

More specifically, I am authoring a series of 10 or more booklets, 
each 24 pages in length, using FH8 (reliable workhorse that it is) 
under old Mac OS 9.1. The publisher uses PageMaker (version unknown, 
does it matter?) on Windows, alternatively Corel Draw 12 on Windows.

What is the best way to get multi-page FH8 files into these programs? 
I know that simple FH files, if given a .cdr extension, open in Corel 
ok, but haven't tried a 24-page FH file (typically 8-12 MB).

Oh, anticipating font problems, I am taking all text to paths as a 
matter of safety. If they have to edit text they are content to 
delete the paths and retype the text, since it is usually short 
explanations for illustrations (they're actually books of various 
puzzles for kids).

TIA for any suggestions.
