First of all it's not Correll Office 2002, it's Corel's WordPerfect Office 2000. And as Alan pointed out, it was abandoned long ago. Which is a damn shame, because there was potentially a very fine product there, but it needed a lot of work. To get it running on a recent Linux distro you will probably need to do some work; install corelwine or some other compatible wine, maybe even libc5-compat or a couple things like that, but even if you ran it on Corel Linux, it was so buggy as to be, well, maybe not unusable but extremely annoying.
P.S. I followed the link and noticed you can download Corel PhotoPaint9. http://linux.corel.com/products/pp9/download_instructions.htm I wonder if some of Corel's Linux projects are still alive... -- -CraigW "You stole fizzy lifting drinks!
