    corel draw scrolling

    It seems to be an intrinsic feature change in either v11 or v12. You may have some luck with customization settings (Tools > Customization > Customization > Commands >All (Show All Items) This will let you assign some new shortcuts. This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but might...

    Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw?

    Unfortunately, I am not that versed in Illustrator. I know enough about the program to know I would always use Corel for any vector layout work. Photo Shop, I have slightly more experience, using it since about version 5.5, but not enough to know the difference between a bug and a system...

    Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw?

    Sorry it took so long to get back - been swamped. For web use, Adobe Photo Shop. It would be considered industry standard. My personal preference is Corel Photo Paint for all manipulation and special effects - with a few exceptions for some of Adobe's camera tools. However, hands down, I...

    how do I convert drop shadow to spot colour eps file in X3

    I am guessing you won't as drop shadows usually have several variations of the shadow color. If you are trying to do two color, white and green, there would most likely need to be some black to properly render the "shade" portions of the shadow. If you are printing on white paper, you might...

    Text rotation -- mixing up the characters ???!

    If it is something you can get away with a single (or limited) application of text, convert the entire string to curves. This will no longer allow your text to be edited, but should preserve your formatting exactly as you have it typed. Just remember each instance of this will have to be...

    Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw?

    I guess it depends on which versions you are lokoing at. Off thetop of my head, I want to say Adobe, but I could be wrong. Corel seems to stay relatively lax on the the resource hogging, but I have some issues where some system configurations just do not get along with Corel, while identically...

    converting pdf and jpeg to cdr

    Another option is to download the latest version of Adobe Reader. There is a capture utility in there, and it works very well. For the most part, the resolution stays fairly high, and the images transfered over are quite workable. Many times, they can be resampled to higher resolutions, and...

    Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw?

    My personal take is both do the same thing - in different ways. I personally prefer Corel Draw - as Adobe tries to have you use the keyboard with one hand, and the mouse with the other. Zooming is a primary example. It is easy to zoom in and out with just the mouse in draw - not so much with...

    setting transparent backgrounds

    Create an oval mask, center it where you want it, then Object > Create > Object: Copy Selection. This will give you just an oval image of the picture. This can have some issues if you want a transparent background, but sometimes, the easiest is to set it on the color of whatever the Power...

    Installing fonts

    You can copy the fonts (*.ttf) file into the Windows/Fonts folder, and there is a real time up-date into COrel X3. There is also a font navigator in the Corel Suite, my personal preference is to just copy them into the fonts folder.

    Multiple pages in Corel paragraph text.

    In other similar requests of this nature, the recomendation is to use a third party PDF creater - such as CutePDF or PrimoPDF. Both are free applications, and can be printed to just like an installed printer. You may also find it works better to print directly from Word to PDF, then insert the...

    Recovering corrupted files!!!

    There should be an auto-backup of the file in the same folder. IT will start out "Backup of_"filename".cdr This will hold true as long as none of the settings have been altered from default, and assuming your file was open long enough to create a backup. Hope this helps.

    White background on logo

    If the suggestion about the dialog box with the transparent background doesnt work for you (if you have white in your logo) then you can also open the image in Photopaint, mask off the area you want to show, and export as a *.gif image - be sure to select "Masked Area" in the transparency...

    Trace issue in X3

    I get the same results - but I don't think this is as you are describing it. What you are getting is the equivalent of the weld function. Think in vector format - you need a closed path to fill with a solid color. In this case, the "copies" of the rectangles are "holes" in your original...

    autoreduce

    It also integrates some of this functionality directly into Corel Trace as well. Many of the settings for smoothing and detail (v. X3) reduce the node count. It seems I recall v.11 has a series of sliders that allow the detail levels to change, including the number of nodes - based on detail...

    autoreduce

    If I recall, it is in the right-click menu on v11 as well. I will check when I get home.

    Problem with symbol fonts in Coreldraw (not solving)

    Have you tried the "ALT" number and manually typing that character number while holding ALT? This is usually limited to ASCII characters, but lets you type all ALT characters in most any application (i.e. ALT+176 = ° for degree symbol, ALT+0162 = ¢, etc)

    How to create fountain fills to curve with text/objects?

    Try changing your fountain fill to Radial instead of LInear. You may have to mannually mess with the verticle and horizontal offsets, as well as setting your Edgepad to get the effect you are looking for. You can drag the Edgepad around with your mouse in the sample box to set it manually.

    How to flatten file? It's too big

    Use a third party PDF creator. I have used CutePDF with good results, and Brushman recomends PrimoPDF which I tried and works pretty well too.
