    rectangle and no-wanted border

    I have noticed that corel Draw does this. At first I thought it was a DITHERING problem. But even after I set the GIF to be 1 color it was still there. 1. Are you exporting as GIF or JPG? Anyway try this- Open the image in Corel Photo Paint and just crop off the unwanted border. *Use the...

    changing size units for text?

    I am using Draw 10. But this should be the same. First: Make sure you are using Artistic text. (rather than paragraph. Second: Make sure you have the TRANSFORM tool bar showing in the tool bar area. (you can do that by Right clicking in the tool bar area and Checking TRANSFORM in the menu tha...

    Expanding Text on Curves

    You can't resize the text upon expansion because the "text wrap" is a group. You are actually just changing the size of the curve the text is wrapped on. You have to ungroup it by using Arrange, Break Text Apart. Then you can delete the circle (or whatever curve/path you are using)...

    Any Suggestions on learning CorelDraw... Fast?

    Well I think you've found one of the best websites already. I'd definitely suggest reading through this forum and seeing issues other folks have been having in order to learn some things. What has worked best for me to learn any application is just to USE IT. But not blindly, you gotta have a...

    Cant Open Corel Photo-Paint, Unexpected Condition

    What OS are you running? In Win XP you could try to do a System Restore to a time when the App was functioning properly. I have had errors similar to that in the past and I have ended up (un-installing then re-installing)I am not sure if that is the best "fix" but it has worked for me.

    outline tool

    How thick is your outline currently? It needs to be atleast 1 point sometimes it needs to be thicker. Try using a 2 point thick outline. The object definitely has to be selected before you go to Convert Outline to Object Let me know if that works.

    drawing a bird

    When I recreate a bitmap into a vector, if it is a very simple drawing such as the bird you have, I just draw a square, Convert it To Curves, grab the Shape Tool (node editor), and while your using that just place nodes around the object and turn some of the straight lines into curved lines and...

    outline tool

    like Brushman said I would also go to ARRANGE then Convert Outline To Object but you have to make sure your outline is thick enough to do that to. I would suggest a 1 point line or thicker. Then, once the outline has become it's own object, you'll then be able to fill it using the Fountain Fill...

    why do my objects just disappear on me???

    How much RAM do you have? I used to have that problem too. Until I upgraded my PC to over a MEG of ram and got a 100GB hd. What version of Draw are you running? I often had to click (Refresh Window) to see the "disappearing items" and remove the "appearing items" that...

    Fonts: Exporting Illustrator to Corel

    The Font matching system gorgeo meant to say was Panose (not pantone). That is the font exception file that will remember them ... Anyway Corel Draw only likes TTF (true type) fonts. Why must you use the FONT? Once you've created it just convert to curves (or outlines in Illustrator) so that...
