Close Existing Documents
To start a new project, you will want to open a blank document. Close
any open documents or cancel the introduction screen. The gray background
indicates that there are no open documents.

Page Information
The page size and orientation is displayed in the Properties Bar, directly
above the work area. CorelDraw provides many areas on the screen to
view and adjust page and object properties. Watch for these information
areas as you learn the program, since they can be great time savers.

Open a Second New Document
You can have several documents open in CorelDraw. Choose File, New and
a second blank document will appear. Note that the first document is
called Graphic1 and the second Graphic2. You can toggle back and forth
between an unlimited number of open documents, which can be valuable
if you are working on a series of similar documents. Warning:
Each open document uses more RAM and you can cause a system crash by
overloading your RAM capacity. Most modern computers will easily handle
two or three open documents. |
