Whenever I create new text in a document, it defaults to RGB. When I start a new page, all of my settings are set to CMYK. I rarely use RGB. Where is the setting so that I can default new text to CMYK? I cannot locate this setting an any of my options.
View 2 RepliesI am using Coreldraw X5 and experiencing the following problems.
After writing text and clicking the Pick Tool, the text is instantly 'emboldened'. the only way I can correct this is to select No Outline. Why does this happen?
I can get round this using this procedure: With nothing selected.
From the Outline Pen tool - select No Outline - and tick the Artistic and Paragraph text boxes. And then from the Tools, Options menu, selecting Save Settings as Default and also Tools, Options, Documents, Save Options as Default for New Documents.
The best that happens is that setting the defaults in this way works for that current page. If I open a new page the problem is back.
The above also occurs with text point size, every new page offers Ariel 10 point, I can change this using the above procedure but it is also not permanent. I would be interested in why setting defaults has no affect, and a permanent solution. I have also restarted the computer after 'setting the defaults' to no avail.
My dimension tool seems to do whatever it wants. I will start with certain settings such as U.S. Architectural but then later it will default back to Fractional and any other settings will be changed back. How do I keep it at what I want?
View 7 Replies View Relatedwhy (sometimes) when I export text or graphics as .eps files to my cutter it cuts the same outline up to four to five times and ends up cutting right through the backing paper. I have been using postcut with various corel editions since 1997 with no problems until recently. It also cuts random lines through lines of text which is such an expensive pain in the ass.
I started to use the production manager in flexi sign to cut my designs and same thing happens, except for the random lines but it will make up to five cuts on some objects. All text and graphics are exported the same. Has something in corel newer versions changed in relation to this?
We are having a big problem with dropping lines of text or parts of graphics. It is happening on 3 different laser systems and 2 different printers.
View 14 Replies View RelatedOften whatever I'm working on in X4 disappears off the document page when I zoom in or out. It's still there (I can see it in the print preview)and I can print it, but I can't see it no matter what view (e.g., normal, draft, etc.) I select. If I select the entire page I can see the graphic and text handles, but nothing else. The only way I can see my work again is to save it, close the program, and then re-open the file. My computer is a Dell Precision Work Station T3400 running Vista Ultimate with an Intel Core2 Quad CPU, 4GB RAM, and my graphics card is an NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 256MB. All my software and drivers are up to date. The problem occurs no matter what screen resolution or refresh rate I'm using.

Output to both Full colour laser and Wide Format printers will miss either text or part of objects. Today printed the text but not the text effects. Initially closed and reopened, rebooted, However this has become a now daily feature so regardless tried reprint from the same screen so next print has everything included.
Very costly and time consuming - print preview shows all correct but output is not the same.

Blank Blocks behind text and graphics
I had several CorelDraw documents that crashes on me, and the auto-backup did not work.
In all these documents, if I open the text paragraph window and typed on it, the entire program will crash if I exit that window after finishing.
I discovered that if I typed directly on the text paragraph, it will not crash. That means do not open the text paragraph window to do editing. But this makes editing very slow since it seems to be more memory intensive.
Strange the auto-backup directory/folder always do not have my backup files too.

Is there a way of unlinking the text frames so that you can move the text independently from the others?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a setting to change the text frame size when pasting a block of text?
For example if text is pasted into a blank page with the either the pick or text tool active the text frame on each page is 8.3"x10.8" on a 8.5"x11" page. the same on each succeeding page until the text is less than a full page.
I would like to set the text frame at 7.5"x10" for pasting in text when the text will need unknown number of pages.

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to curve text within a shape, as paragraph text, not artistic text? (See my attached image.)
I have drawn the shape, inserted the text as paragraph text, but the text always wants to sit straight. I am so frustrated as I can find a workaround in either Corel or Adobe CS products. I have tried using artistic text in Corel, but have to do it line by line - and this brings other problems, such as I cant justify each line with each other, and sometimes a character jumps up relative to the other characters and the entire paragraph does not taper in...so this is not a solution, apart from the fact it will take me FOREVER to insert line by line....I would like to treat the text as a multiple line paragraph, and follow the shape.
I am using Corel for driving a fiber laser through a dedicated Net connection not available to the rest of the network and it and my computer are right next to the switch.
My problem is that when I send a job from the PC to the laser it works fine. If I make a small change on the graphics, I save it and send a new job to the laser. Quite often, some part of my grapics is left off the plot even though I didn't touch that graphic or mod it. So I send the job over again and now somewhere else is missing some of the graphic word...usually a word or a letter or number. I usually turn off the computer or get out of Corel and come back in and it is fixed. That doesn't sound like a network dropped or corrupted graphic. I have tried turning off the laser with Corel still up and it doesn't fix the problem when I bring the laser on line again.
In the last 2 days Corel has decided to start changing Artistic Text to Paragraph Text when I copy & paste it across documents, completely changing the font, size & colour of what I am copying.
I've just done a factory reset & it's still doing it.
I don't recall doing anything that would change a setting.
The text I am copy & pasting are disclaimers that are all set on 1 document & I copy & paste them to a proof as needed.
I'm making tickets and i need to add tickets numbers, from 1 to 1000. Print & Merge doesn't fit for me.So I want to change text tag for example: "<text>" to text which will be different (1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ...) Wagenaar where the code finds word "Andorra" and change it to "Andorre".

I am having trouble resizing text boxes with text in them, so that the text scales with the box.If I convert the text box the curves, it messes up the formatting when I add an outline to the curve because the text box itself is given a outline.

I work for a translation company and I've installed a Trial Copy of Corel Draw X5.
I have a 6-page document with several text areas (the Obect Manager sees them as Artistic Areas [I think]).
I'm trying to extract all the text into a text (prefferably an XML), file translate the text using Trados, then import the translated text file back into the Corel Draw Document, with the appropriate text in place of the original text.
I've tried using Extract / Merge text, but this doesn't seem to work.
I really don't know the best way to do this or maybe there is a standard, but here is what I am wanting.
When you put text over a simple vector graphic, the graphics makes it hard to read the Text.
I normally delete the graphic lines touching the text and this works but was wondering if there was another way.
Example: if this is a one color design "White" and it is just an outline of lets say a human, and I want to display text which is "White" also across the human image sometimes the image will interfere with being able to read the text clearly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am running CorelDraw X6 and I am having a strange issue. I have it installed on a PC with windows 7 64 bit, and CorelDraw is also 64 bit. The issue is that when I have a string of text and I try to edit it via the "edit text" box, it wants to shift the text down a row after closing the box. so if I open and close the edit text box lets say 5 times, the text will be dropped down 5 spaces. This problem does not occur if I use the text tool on the left side toolbox, only if I use the edit text box. Also, I have another PC with almost identical hardware, and it does not have any issues. I have tried installing .NET, C++, and many other tricks to try to fix it. I have reinstalled CorelDraw, and I have up to date drivers for my graphics.
