I, sometimes, get annoying additional, but small, paragraph spacing when using a tab at the beginning of a paragraph. Because this is not a constant problem, I thought I could find the cause, but it eludes me.
View 8 RepliesI have a document (booklet fold set-up) consisting of linked paragraph text and some objects (jpegs) spreaded through-out the booklet.
After selecting All Text, I have set the paragraph spacing at the Paragraph Formating Docker > Spacing > Paragraph & Line > After Paragraph to 70%. That very nicely decreased the whole document's space between paragraphs on all pages to the size I wanted. Problem is that the moment I move any object into that paragraph text and set it to Wrap Paragraph Text, then the space between the paragraphs simply jumps back to full size, even though it still shows 70% in the paragraph docker. (It happens only on that page, all others are still showing a 70% space between paragraphs.) And there's just no convincing it to go back. It's as if the presence of the object overrides this setting.
I am doing a job with columns of donor names (originating from a Word file). Most of the lines space just fine but occasionally there is a 'phantom line' for want of a better term, sort of like I've gone from single spacing to 1.5 or so.
The thing is my paragraph text stats don't change... I highlight good lines - they show as 100%, I highlight the troublesome section, it shows as 100% and there is nothing in the Word file to show that this originated there.
As the job needs to get out the door, I'll just cut out the offending bits, make them artistic text and drop them back in to fit properly. WIth more than a thousand names this is getting pretty old pretty quick.
I have some text in a paragraph frame that I want it to be in full justify but when I apply it the spaces between the words get messed up, some of them become too small and in some cases the words get so close to each other that you almost can't read the text. Also the words in the last line get also very close to each other and that ruins my design.
I have tried inceasing the kerning but this affects the space between the characters too and I don't want that. What I need is a way to correct manually the spacing between the words. I tried doing so by increasing the word spacing from the "Paragraph Formating" docker but for some reason it doesn't work at all.
When I am using PS CS6 typing in a text box, when I type in a full stop or question mark, it automatically puts the . or the ? ( or any symbol for that matter) at the beginning of the paragraph.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI trying to use GREP within a paragraph style to bold the title of a listing at the start of a paragraph. I want to limit it to the first set of quotation marks, and leave any other characters within quotes in that paragraph un-bolded.
I used the expression below, which i thought would start at the beginning of a paragraph (^), left quotation mark (~{), any character, any number of times (.+), followed by a right quotation mark (~}), followed by a space (s), zero or one times, shortest match (+?).
^~{.+~}s+?
Unfortunately, it bolds everything through the next right quotation mark.What can I add to the expression to restrict the GREP to find just the first set of quotes? These would be titles that may have multiple words or numbers in the title.

Why does this happen? Every time I open a file where I changed paragraph spacing it always gets back to its default value of x1,00.
I just started working for a new employer as a 2012 AUTCAD Tech: they have only used old school DTEXT for everything (what a pain compared to multi-text "MTEXT").
Problem: I converted several single line Dtext to Mtext (.075 test height) paragraphs but can not achieve the same spacing they have been using (.225) because .025 is not an availalbe increment in the parapgrah & line spacing selection. Is there a way or a LISP that will allow me to add custom spacing choices to the Line/Paragraph spacing default list?
Then I can upgrade so much and work faster, yet maintain the standard spacing already set via snap grid settings.
The text that we're using for the majority of our notations doesn't look very good at 1.0x scale so I try and adjust the paragraph line spacing to 0.8x as I go. I also know that if I create MTEXT and adjust the paragraph line spacing at the prompt it will "stick". However it doesn't stick for leaders and there's no real way of creating a permanent setting, is there?
Slight inconvenience of adjusting that setting each time I create a leader.
I'd like to create sheet notes with different line spacing and paragraph spacing in ACA 2013. When I change before/after Paragraph spacing settings in the Text Formatting window, I get a message reading "please provide a value within range of 1/4" and 4". I'd like to use 1/8" for the paragrpah spacing, which is the same size as the text.

View 7 Replies View RelatedCan the "Basic Paragraph" style in Paragraph Styles be modified? How is this done?
I can bring up the Paragraph Styles Options diaglog by double clicking "Basic Paragraph" in the Paragraph Styles panel. I can also modify it, for example, by changing the font family. But when I click OK to save it, it creates a new style and leaves "Basic Paragraph" unchanged.
I know that the Basic Paragraph style can be modified in InDesign, but I don't see how to do it in Photoshop.
When someone has pasted text in from microsoft office (word 2010) to a coreldraw x3 text block, I find the line spacing is in points (pt). I seem to be unable to change this to percentage. I'd like to change it to % so that text block matches my others created in coreldraw where linespacing is in %. Is there a way to change it to % once line spacing has become pt?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am new to Corel Draw, and I'm using a shiny new copy of X5. It seems like this should be ultra simple, and I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong, but I have text in a Paragraph box and want to simply adjust the line spacing (leading), but no matter what mode I'm in the control does nothing.
I made sure that I wasn't missing a space or a return or something by using select all, I have used all three modes, which will change the spacing as I select a new mode, but changing the value in the spacing box does nothing. I can make it 2 points 100 points, 50%, everything I have tried does nothing at all.
I have a project with lots of holes to cut on CNC cutter, but I have to change the spacing between the holes (from 23mm to 18mm)
In the *.cdr file, the holes are seperate objects/circles with a precise angle between each of the holes and I do not want to change that angle.
Is there a function, that I for example select two holes, write the distance between them and it makes it?
When resizing paragraph text, the default is that the shape size changes, but the text properties stay the same, so if it was a 12 pt before, it will be a 12 pt after.
IF you hold ALT while resizing, it will reduce the size of the text and move tabs so that it gives the same appearence as before. This is great. A 12 pt might be reduced to an 8 or 6 pt or less.
BUT if you select the paragraph text with a bitmap OR an Object that completely overlaps it. Holding alt looses the ability to maintain perspective and proper proportions.
I can reproduce on video if you need me to.

I have created a A4 size leaflet, there I put a three column paragraph text layout (font used: Arial; 11pt), now I to reduce the leaflet size, so if I transform the entire design by grouping all object along with the text but text size is not reducing...the font size still 11pt.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I choose an object and choose "Export", when I save it as a jpeg, the object edges are always way too close to the edge/border/square of the created jpg image. It is like I need to create a border around the object before I export it or something.
I want to but an object on the background (the original 'blank page' square or whatever color or image I choose as the background for that square)... Then, when I export as a jpg, I want the background to be in the jpeg (which it usually is), BUT without the object being right on the edges of the background. When I export as a pdf, the object stays in the same spot in relationship to the background. But for some reason when I export it as a jpeg, the object (s) always take up the whole background. When the object is text, it is crammed right on the edge of the jpeg image.
Do I need to weld the object (s) to the background somehow before I export? And if I did that, how would I then select the combined "object/background object" to then save it as a jpeg?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI need to import DXF files to Corel, but when I import them, the text appear as paragraph text, not as artistic text...that's not a problem if the paragraph text includes all the text...but it do not do that. Some texts appears as paragraph with red lines (so it is not possible to see it, as well as not possible to convert directly to artistic with Ctrl+F8). Also, some paragraph text appear as 2 lines instead of just one, because it do not feed in wide but yes in height.
I would like to import the text directly as artistic...or as paragraph,but with the same appearance of the original DXF file.
I have been able to do a text wrap which works great. However, I need to be able to move the boxes along with the paragraph if, say, I change the beginning and causing the entire thing to shift.
So far when I enter anything and the boxes are just inserted with text wrap the words move together but leave the boxes where they are. I can move the boxes along after words by just pushing the down arrow but that means I have to go through and move each one which is time consuming and frustrating.
Is there anyway to perhaps insert the box directly into the paragraph so that it is all one thing?
Or is there another way to make this work?
I just installed CorelDRAW X6 on a new 64bit Win-7 machine. When I try to use keyboard shortcuts to cut and paste paragraph text in a document I created with X5 on my old 32bit Win-XP machine, CorelDRAW crashes. I need to be able to work with my old X5 (and occasionally, older) files. Is there a fix for this, or do I need to go scrap X6, and put X5 on my new machine?

I am looking into using CD X5 for my laser engraver, but I am running into a bit of a issue. I have to open PDFs into corel but when I do I lose all the spacing between each word. The font is not subsituted, there is no issue with opening it, and I can rip the file to the output device. I can edit the text by adding a space, I have double hit the space bar to make one space.

There are years since I worked in CorelDraw. However, recently I got a project from a client. I have to implement 14 languages translations into a document. The work is, so far, Copy/Paste from MS Word, paragraph by paragraph. I didn't find a better way, yet.
At a point I run into a problem. Inside a Paragraph Text frame the text has a strange leading, or something (See attachment).
I have a document of 300 pages or so of flowing text which I wish to edit into chapters.
Ideally I would like to select the start of a line of text and place it at the top of a page where it will then stay without breaking the paragraph links, as in Word (this also maintains the word count across the whole document).
Alternatively, could I simply break the paragraph links? When I attempt this now with Arrange/Break Paragraph Text, all that happens is
that a new page with an unlinked text frame appears, but the 'before' and 'after' pages are still linked, which defeats the objective.
The only way I've found to divide the document up is to copy it whole and then delete pages before and after the required chapter breaks and then reassemble them into one document, which is pretty laborious.
I'm sure I'm missing something really basic here.
Many times I am unable to see the dotted line of paragraph text handle while editing in it. Why it is so. I am using coreldraw x5

I go to Tools > Options > Paragraph Text Frame and untick 'show text frames'. I then go to Document and tick 'Save options as default....'. Restart. No change, I still see a red dotted line around the text frames. How do you turn these off? If I can't do that, can I at least change the colour?
