CorelDRAW X3 :: How To Apply Formatting To Distinct Text Areas
Aug 27, 2010
I have copied a bunch of text into a text frame in CorelDRAW X3. Now I want to give style to each of the headings in the text.
In Microsoft Word there is a "copy formatting" option, allowing me to copy font size, colour, style etc. from one text portion to other text portions in a snap.
Is the same possible with text in CorelDRAW?
CorelDRAW Graphic Suite X6.4 @ Windows 7/Windows 8 - 64 Bit, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012
The problem just came today while i tried to copy/paste text from Ms Word. As I usually do it asks me about formatting options before pasting text but today its not working the way it should. It simply pastes plain text without all formatting I did to my document in Ms Word. I even tried to repair my software but nothing worked.
the thing is that on my previous version of Corel Draw (9? 10? whatever...) I could take a text frame with tabs lined up, copy it, paste it into a new document and all the tabs would be carried over from the original.
but when I try to do that in X3, it just copies across as plain text, meaning that I would have to do all the tabbing again.
When I say the tabs were set up, it's a list that looks like this:
Bill.................32..................Harvard
John..............27..................Oxford
where the .............. is made just by tabbing across.
Is it possible to get paragraph text Headline (Title) & body text applied by style at one click without selecting each separately. If yes, how we can do? If not possible, will it be possible in update or next ver. 7
As with any upgrade to Corel over the past decade, they change things on new versions and hide them! I've been using since v1.0 (which instantly became v1.1 upon release).
I JUST installed v X6 and off to my first problem within 10 minutes.
The old menu in X5 used to have a docker called "Graphic and Text" which is no longer available in X6. After some research, it looks like the "apply a style or style set to an object" is the way to go, HOWEVER if I right click on the text as suggested to find the "Object Styles" menu, the sub menu is a blank little rectangle that won't display the menu items.
How to copy a style to a menu and then apply it as well in X6?
I have a list - want to apply bullets, but cannot.
I've tried changing fonts, but bullets are greyed out in the paragraph section of text properties box for every font I choose. I've selected many fonts ... still ... no bullets.
I have inside every text,Mtext contents different text style like Arial_1 , Arial_2.
How i can give all the contents inside one style ? the normal procedure i will enter inside text to enter editing mode and changing text format style one by one. I want it once.
I want to save my routing of entering every text to change its content text style.
(Notice:select all from outside without editing mode will not do the job)
I know I can rotate text with the rotate command or from the properties palette, but if I'm editing text and the text formatting toolbar is displayed, why don't I have the ability to modify the rotation right there? How do I get it there? Can I customize this toolbar?
I am creating a menu for a cient as a PDF. When I open it up in PDF format it is too large (174%) to view each page individually. It works well at about 75%. Is there a way I can have it open up at 75%?
I am using Corel Draw X3 to create name tags that have room numbers printed on them so people know where they need to go. I am importing an Excel spreadsheet for the data. When it does the print merge it is adding a decimal at the end of the room number. For example, instead of showing room 215, it outputs 215.0 instead. How can I keep this from happening? I've tried everything I can think of in Corel and Excel both.
I was trying to duplicate the star wars scrolling into space text movie demo in PS CS4. I finally accomplished it.
But to adjust the text, it requires the FULL text format. I had the full format button in view, but could not use it. The only buttons that worked were left, center, and right. None of the buttons on the right would toggle.
I used the key shortcut CTRL-SHFT-F to get it to work. I highlighted the text and nothing could move the focus to the FULL format button..
When I copy some text from one part of a layout to another, it retains the font settings of the original text. How can I have the text just be text and take on the format of the paragraph I'm pasting into?
For instance, I copy some words into a headline, I don't want them to be 12 pt Times, so I have to re-apply the formatting.
Currently I paste into an external text editor and copy again so that it is just text without formatting. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator?
When text is pasted from one CS5 document into another and is inserted into the existing text in the destination doc, is comes in as a size different from either the source or distination size. Both docs are of the same resolution. The text being transferred is acquiring new formatting somehow. These are older docs, I don’t know what I might have done with/to them previously.
I am trying to copy and paste text in Photoshop CS6 and I am losing the oh-so-valuable formatting. I am referring to two boxes side by side in Photoshop that contain text.
I love the text in the first box, but when I try to duplicate the formatting in the second box right next to it, the text looks completely different. And, when I try to just paste some of the text from the first box to the second box, the 20 px text suddenly becomes 96.3 px text.
Even though I go through all of the formatting options available and duplicate what was in the first box, the text in the second box ends up looking nothing like the first box even though they contain exactly the same formatting, font type - everything.
I have an IDW file that has a corresponding .IPT Everytime you import a .ipt onto a sheet, a text accompanies it. I want to write a macros to edit this text.
As an usual practise it gives "VIEW, DESCRIPTION and SCALE" .
Instead of VIEW , I want the code to pick something from the i-properties.
Eg. Instead of VIEW, it shopuld write the STOCK NUMBER from the iproperties of the part.
How do I keep the formatting stable in the text editing. I have columns separated by tabs. Every time I click to edit the text Revit re-arranges the paragraph. I can't keep the format stable so the columns read correctly. I never had this problem with CAD.
I feel like a Beta tester right now trying to produce permit documents on a program that isn't finished yet.
When I click on mtext to edit info the text editor comes up but it always lands right on top of the text so I have to keep moving the toolbar around... besides turning the option "off" for the toolbar to pop up - is there a way to "dock" it somewhere?
I'm trying to automate an email we have to send upon job completion, I've started with the Curtis's ilogic from . I also found info HERE. I'm almost there, but I can't seem to find the correct format to edit the text size/Font/Bolding required. The email should look like:
CRITICAL ACTION: Replace old revisions on the shop floor & at vendor with the new revisions and destroy the old revisions.

I'm trying to get there by declaring Fontsize, then .Body.Fontsize = 16, but that isn't working. Any link to a page that would give me the correct format to change font size for this? I'd also like to get the table lines around the drawing/Part Number, but that isn't critical.
Users of Excel will know that you can ask that software to automatically change the color of text depending on its value.
I wonder is this possible in AutoCAD ( Issue release 13 )
The task I have to process is that I have a survey full of spot levels. It would be great of there was a lisp or script or some other device that would change the colour of the spot levels depending on the numerical value of the number.
E.g. - all values less than 100.00 - turn blue all values equal to or greater than 100.00 - turn yellow
I am programmatically setting the text of selected text range from plugin. The text is obtained from external system. It is html formatted (ex: <b>bold</b> text and this is <i>italics</i>) . Is there a way to set the formatted text into text range? Currently it is showing the entire text including formatting tags as text.
I am using CorelDraw to create price labels for my store. When I merge in the price field for an item I want it to show on the label with the cents in superscript as opposed to using a decimal and full sized cents text. Is this possible in any version of CorelDraw using the print merge feature?
Keep in mind that I also have the price field in an envelope so that the price takes up the full size allotted on the label whether the price is $1.99 or $999.99.
When I copied text over from Photoshop to illustrator it kept the text formatting. For example the font, font size, color. Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost and everything is placed as whatever the current AI text setting is.
HOWEVER, pasting from AI to PS WORKS as it should. All font/text formatting is maintained. Is this a bug or is there a setting for this that I just never knew about?
I just realized that I have quite a number of text instances (261!) that require that I change the color of the text. All of these instances are associated with multileaders and but are only a portion of the text associated with each multileader.
Is there a way to incorporate the functionality of acad mechanical whereby you can specify the length of text but have it fit within a specific area?
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to get a description to work well with my title block. If I use the fit option, all of the text is stretched, which I don't want. I want it to be normal until it doesn't fit anymore into the predefined area and then have it fit.
I was telling an engineer the other day that I could probably insert his general notes from MS Word into AutoCAD and create nice clean pdf files of the CD sheets that he could email to clients. On second inspection I could tell that, yes I could copy, paste it in, but fixing all the formatting would be a nightmare. Is there any way to retain the formatting such as numbering, tabs etc. when bringing it in to AutoCAD? The idea is to have it be an editable document, so I don't want to just bring it in as a OLE object, pdf or scan.
