Stage 2: Inserting Text and Graphics


6.

To copy text into CorelDraw, select a section of your text from your word document, and copy it. In your CorelDRAW document select EDIT > PASTE SPECIAL> TEXT. Your text will appear in a large box which will cover the entire page. Use the text box handles to adjust your text to fit into your columns. Using PASTE SPECIAL allows your text to wrap.
 
When you use EDIT> PASTE SPECIAL
> and you are soomed out in
CorelDRAW, your text should look
like a series of lines
A downward pointing triangle at
the bottom of a text box
means there is more text which
is not showing. Extend the text
box further to reveal the
additional text.
   
7. To place graphics into your document use FILE > IMPORT and select the file of the graphic you wish to insert. To maintain proportions when resizing your graphic, click and drag only the corner handles of the selected image. If there are places in which you can put two tables, graphs or graphics side by side in a single column, it is generally appropriate to do so as it will save space.
   
8. To place graphs, tables and charts from Excel, PowerPoint or a word processing program, use COPY and PASTE.
