Make sure when you put your knife tool on the edge(it will stand straight up when you hit the edge) and click then drag to the next point and click again. That should take care of it and then you just grab the seperate pieces and move them around.

The knife will stand striaight up when I put it on one side but when I move to the other side it will not stand straight up and the line dissapears.

When it stands up on the first line are you clicking the mouse?

The knife tool is not one of Corel's finer efforts. More often than not it's easier to simply create another object and use that object to trim the original object.

If the object is layered you will find it to be a pain in the a$$ to try to use the knife tool also.
