CorelDRAW X5 :: Pasting Text - Letters Come A Bit Jumbled Up
May 31, 2013
i'm making a newsletter in which there are pages which has to written in malayalam. i use charmap (Start>Run>Charmap). in that i make a sentence by selecting each letters.. Charmap has its own text field where the written text is displayed. from that text field i've to copy paste it to corel draw's text field.
Now the problem is whenever i paste it on corel draw's text field, the letters come a bit jumbled up. i've noticed that the vowels get jumbled up. but when i paste it on ms word, it comes as it is.
I have 36 different circular names that I need to input into a document, but every time I try to edit the field on a circular path, the letters get all jumbled... What can I do to keep the letters on the path when I edit them?
Is 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.
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.

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.
I've been using CorelDraw X3 for a while now and whenever I have copied and pasted artistic text is has simply pasted over itself in the same place for me to move wherever I want to.
Yesterday I copied some artistic text and when I hit paste it pasted as paragraph text, in a different size and font and in the center of the page. Have I accidentally and unawares changed a setting?I know I can get around this by duplicating instead of pasting but it is frustrating as it is a feature I use constantly.
I know how to make a sentence go around the inside/outside of a circle, but suppose the sentence is not a line of typed text, but rather a line of hand-calligraphed letters which have been scanned and vectorized?
Another way of asking my question: how would you put a line of curves (letters) around a circle? To visualize, it is for a flat, coin-like pendant which will have a quote going around it.
I have a logo that I want to plot, it has both picture and text. When I vectorize the image the graphic part of the logo looks great. The text cannot be identified. It looks like a bunch of shapes.
How do I select all the text and change the same letters to a selected color at once, I know how to change the color for a letter one by one, but it is too tedious.
I have been trying really hard now and this has ocurred several times before for me: I copy a text from MS Word and paste it into a Paragraph text frame in Corel Draw, and all I get is a line break. That's correct, just one line break, no text.
If I take just a few hundred words it pastes allright, but if I have like 14 000 characters including spaces, it fails to paste. If I paste the same amount of text into Notepad and then from there to Draw, it works alright. There seems to be a problem importing/pasting formatted text, even if you discard all fonts and formatting in the Paste text dialog.
If I go to Edit/Paste special/Text the import works, but the text does not land in the text frame selected or where you have the cursor active, instead you get the text in some randomly fomed text frames where you most likely don't want them, many times just as big as the page and with no margins.
So there definitely seems to be a problem pasting longer texts into Corel Draw.
Student had installed 2012 version and the text is all jumbled up in the status bar. He has been using the program though. On occasion, says he also sees it affecting option bar. See attached.
We have several similar installation in our office, but I am the only one with this problem. All of the annotative text on drawings is unreadable because it is jumbled - in this case Helvetica. We have upgraded clean install from AutoCad 2010 to 2014 - no luck. We reinstalled all of the fonts in both the system and AudtoCad (TrueType and SHX files) - no luck. Changing size or scale - no luck. I have not seen this specific issue before and don't have font issues in any other program.
See attached image - typical of all text on drawing, even within blocks.
I created a card with a colored panel and a white background. I then typed my name along the junction of the panel and background and as I typed the top half of the letters were the panel color and the bottom half of the letters was white.
trying to copy txt from an outside text editor and pasting them into an open, editable text layer in my workspace. The problem is that I can COPY the text fine, but when I click over to PS to paste it into the open editable text layer it either pastes the previous text from my clipboard OR it won't paste anything at all. I can then go into any other text field on a browser, spreadsheet document, a different text editor, notepad, etc and successfully paste the proper batch of text I wanted to paste into PS. Sometimes I have some rather large files open 50+megs when I notice this happen. I have to save my work and close out entirely of PS and then open it again before I can begin editing my original document again and successfully paste the text into the open editable text layer. This may last for a few COPY/PASTE sessions of additional text in additional text layers, but then begins displaying the symptoms I described above.
I am on Win7 on an AlienWare M17XR3 laptop with 16G RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series display adapter.I assume it's either in my PS performance settings which I have PS using 10413MB RAM and has over 350G scratch disk space. If it's not that I guess my laptop system performance settings which I've never tinkered with since I purchased it.
Illustrator CC, Mac OS 10.8.4 : When pasting text formatted with a Paragraph Style, the style drops off and the text converts to Myriad. I am copying and pasting from/into the same file - even into the same text box.
Today Illustrator CS4 decided to start crashing on me when I try to paste text into the art board. It will also not allow me to type text into the artboard. Whenever I try to type, it just does all the tool shortcuts. I have alread tried deleting the preferences and that hasn't worked at all.
I have with transferring graphics between programs - that is graphics that have been "cut out" from their backgrounds. ie with transparent backgrounds.
Whenever I cut and paste out of Draw (or PP) into another program, say Serif PhotoPlus or Xara Designer, the background returns (white), and the same happens when I paste an image into Draw that has been cut out elsewhere. To all extent and purposes they become jpegs.
Yet an image "cut out" in Serif PhotoPlus can be pasted into Xara Designer with the transparency intact. It doesn't work in reverse though.
Is there a setting somewhere that would enable me to successfully transfer images out of and into Draw with transparency? Without having to export every time to png or pdf.
Cutting & pasting small lines of text within CDR x6 and it was crashing out, I discovered that after copying the lines of text, if I waited a few seconds before pasting (text was 3 words 25 characters) the there was no programme crash.
On a related issue when copying some lines of text to another small software application I encountered a Windows error report that I have never seen before "Operation Clipboard Failed" and the error information is listed below which may be of interest to our friends at Coreldraw .....
I want to type a name and save it then post it on the new website I am working on. Problem is it post inside a white box. I have posted a link to the page I am working on.
How can you make entwined letters where two letters in two different colors overlap AND underlap each other? If I convert them (from text) to curves and then use the Virtual Segment Delete Tool, it leaves open curves and the color disappears. How can I close the open curves in a way that follows the lines of the letters (as opposed to making a straight line) so I can get the color back? Or is there an altogether better way?
I'm having a weird problem with pasting text into Photoshop. It had been working fine until today. Here is how I usually do it (and it won't work now):
Copy text from email or web page into basic text editor. Make any changes necessary. Copy text from text editor. Paste into Photoshop text field.
Today when I try to paste the text into Photoshop nothing happens. It pastes fine into other programs such as Illustrator (and even this form.) And it will copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop (though it comes through styled which is not what I want.)
I've run my usual repair programs but that didn't clear up the problem. how to fix this?
We receive art files here to work on. They've gone to a couple of different sources before we get them, so we really don't know how the file was originally saved. It gets emailed to us so that we can get it ready to send to the plate makers.
After opening the file, I save it as a Corel Draw file, then work on it. The problem starts when converting the Corel file to an AI file. The AI file now shows sections of letters filled in, like the letter o.
I am new to Corel Draw. I am attempting to recreate a logo with 2 letters, but I need them to overlap and then outline. It is apparently not possible to weld them, but is there another way to accomplish this?
I need to cut out letters from plastic on a laser cutter. I use "no fill" and a hairline outline and it works fine. But occasionally I want to change a font to be "thicker" or have a thicker line but still maintain the hairline outline for cutting. I can get thicker lines on screen by using the contour tool but how to remove the fill and keep the hairline outline. To complicate matters, I need these letters to be joined together, so I also need to use the weld tool.
I have 2 layers of text in a .psd that I want to simply copy and paste into another .psd. I select both layers and link them together, though when I copy and paste into the other .psd only one of the layers is pasted. How do you do this?
In Video Studio X3, it seems impossible to paste text copied from another program onto a Title page. I want to do this since I have 16 stanzas of poetry that I want to insert, each on its own page, or story board.
If in fact I cannot paste text, is there a format that I can use to save each stanza on a page separately in another program that I can import into one part of this program? Maybe in a particular file extension as a snapshot, video, etc.?
It would seem ridiculous to not be able to import a text document. Do I have to type everything out from scratch?
Iv written text in a word document and copied and pasted it onto a background in photoshop. Now i have a problem because when i dropped the text into PS it said it had rendered the text it and now i cant change any of the text i can add to it but i cant change words that iv either miss spelt or need to remove from the text.
Im running Photoshop and Illustrator CS on a G5 with os X and ever since I've installed them I've been unable to copy and paste text from illustrator without converting to outlines.
I get an "operation cannot complete because of an unknown error" message
