CorelDRAW text typesetting practical tips (2)

Other practical tips:

1. Use paragraphs as much as possible to avoid using graphic texts, especially when arranging albums and newspapers, because the alignment of the artwork is troublesome. But some people will say: paragraph text in corelDRAW9 can't turn curve, post output may be wrong. Yes, this is a defect of CorelDRAW9. It's good to go to corelDRAW11, corelDRAW12 and it can be turned. However, in the corelDRAW9 method there are still some, such as: first draw a rectangle covering the text box, and then ALT + F3 call out the filter, select transparency, select black, fill in 100%, check the "freeze" (the most important steps) , apply, and then lift the group, remove unwanted things. I also learned this method after I got this jar. I didn't know it before. But I generally only transfer the text of the artwork, and the text of the paragraph does not turn at all. Because I generally do not use very rare fonts, and now the output of the company's fonts are generally more complete, and rarely encounter missing fonts. I tried the above method, and it is also very troublesome to use, especially a lot of paragraph text. Here I will introduce a method that does not use any transitions for all texts: There is a "prepare for output" function in the file menu. Use this function to collect all the fonts used in the files and files that need to be exported, save them to a folder, and finally copy them to the output company. Never worry about missing fonts. (Figure 12) The main purpose of the song is to worry that the output company does not have its own font. Now that you have copied the font to him, are you worried about mistakes? Do not believe you try. Anyone who has used freehand knows that there is a “collecting output” function, which is similar to that of corelDRAW.

2. Paragraph text row (arguments may not be professional, don't laugh): Since coreldraw cannot display all pages in the same job window as freehand, it is a page-by-page display. This brings some inconvenience to the typesetting of our multi-page pictures, but we are used to it. However, if there is a long article with a page that does not finish, you need to extend to the next page. At this time, you should use the "paragraph text row" function. Method: Click the small box in the middle of the text box, a small box with a arrow pointing to the lower right will switch to the next page to directly pull out a text box. The text on the page will automatically move to the next page Now. If you narrow down the text box on the previous page, the text inside will move to the next page. Is this function very good? Try it more. Figure 13 Please also note that if the small box in the middle of the text box is hollow, it indicates that the text has ended; if the small box has a downward triangle, it means that there is something hidden in the text. .

3, graphics and text (text around the map): This is still very easy in CorelDRAW. Figure 14

4, this situation has not met? As you can see in Figure 15 in the mixed English and Chinese text, the word space on the previous line is often much wider than the next line, because of the English word. My solution is to move the cursor to the English word and press the space bar to disconnect it from the Chinese character. The English word will go to the previous line, so that the word spacing will be normal.

5, "ctrl + shift +>" or "ctrl + shift + <" key combination can fine-tune the word spacing.
Of course, any software is flawed and there is no perfect software. CorelRAW is no exception. Otherwise, there will be no newer versions. In terms of text layout, CoreRAW has a poor place. I haven't found a solution yet. For example:
There are many English fonts in the coreDraw11 or 12 that are not available. I read the article "Solving the CorelDRAW Composite Fonts" by Hahaharu Mana (which can be found in the article at the top), but it does not solve the problem. This method is only aimed at inputting text directly in corelDRAW, but for Text copied from word does not work, or there are many fonts that cannot be used, especially English. There is also a method provided by Comrade Yan Long in the “Text/writing tool/language selection of American English and checking the saving as default writing tool language”. I have also tried it and it is no use.

2. When copying text attributes in corelDRAW12, only the font size and kerning and line spacing are changed, and the font is the same, so it is inconceivable.

There are also some unsatisfying places that can't be remembered for a moment.
