CorelDRAW X5 :: Word Spacing When Using Full Justify In Paragraph Text?
May 22, 2011
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.
I'm transferring a 1st draft book from a PDF file by copying and pasting text and photos. So far, so good.
During the pasting process, I've selected to maintain fonts and formatting. Despite this, the text gets pasted with only some of the formatting and some correct fonts. But that's easily fixable.
All the text, now in X4, is Left Justified. The author has requested that it be Full Justified (looks better). When I select a paragraph and Full Justify it, the words/lines shrink further to the left. Altering the Spacing from the default 60% to 100% allows it move to the right, but not all the way to the right of the text box.
I've tried hyphenation. Still, there's a limit to how far right the text is allowed to go.Force Justify stretches it all out fine, but the spaces are too big between the words.
I made a new text box and typed in the same content that's in a paragraph of the pasted text. It Fully Justifies perfectly!
So, there seems to be some invisible 'barrier' within the pasted text stopping the Full Justify process from working properly.
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 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, 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.
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.
Within Illustrator select text tool.Type in a few lines of text with carriage return.Select all the text in the paragraph..Go to paragraph panel..Select the justify icon...NO results...the paragrpah is not justified
I have designed a C# application to To Print I Cards Of School. Here I am sending data from my application to a CDR FILE (Already Created ) Which Contains ADDRESS Text Field..Now I Need to Print Address(which contains 60 characters or more) on this Text field .
I Have Used The following c# Code.. To Replace Address text field that contains text 'Address '.....
s.Text.Replace('Address',"Text To be replaced .......")...here s is Active shape...
This Works Fine But How can i WRAP TEXT....of Address field.
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.
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
how 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.
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.
When I copy properties from one paragraph frame to another, only font and its size is copied, not paragraph settings (spacing before/after paragraph, bullets, indentation etc.). I never had problems with this - it started a couple of days ago (the update??).
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 am taking a pdf file into coreldraw home & student X6 to edit and change layout from landscape to portrait. When it opens the paragraphs are either objects or artistic text, so when adjusting the bounding box the text stretches instead of wrapping. I have tried both importing the file as well as opening it. What am I doing wrong?
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.
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 typesetting an A4 document using paragraph text. When I get about a third of the way down the page the computer slows right down and gets worse and worse as I go on. I have reformatted my hard drive and reloaded Corel draw but am still having the same problem!
I 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?
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?
The paragraph text always shows a black dashed border (or red, when part of the text is not shown). Sometimes it is very difficult to evaluate a design/layout, when the borders are shown. So I searched an option to hide this border, but did not find any. How to hide this border?
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).
