[comp.windows.ms] Cropping/Expanding pics, CorelDraw doesn't work

Is there any software, ftp or otherwise, that can enable a conversion
from a PCX file that is very large (larger than the screen) to a
windows compatible bitmap that shows the entire shrunken PCX full
screen.

Attempting to do this in CorelDraw doesn't work well.  Here's the
process I think should work:

I have a large format PCX file.  I import the file.  Shrink it down
on the desk top.  Go PageSetup and shrink the page to a size small
enought to fit on an 640x480 bitmap.  Export as pcx then convert to
bmp with paintbrush.

This gives me a bmp file that doesn't seem to shrunken at all and has
obnoxious white borders that have nothing to do with the picture.

Has anyone shrunken a pcx file and saved it without the borders?
