Graphic File Management
It is important to manage files for any computer application, but with
graphic files, you must keep an organized system. Graphic file sizes are
many times larger than regular files, and can quickly fill even a large
hard drive. The best way to know which files are important and which can
be deleted is to work with your own directory system, rather than saving
files to the program default directory. Look at the properties for this
single sample CorelDraw file - 1.2 MB. |

Create a Folder
Choose File, Save As, and the Save Drawing Window will open. For this
exercise, we will create a directory on the Desktop right from the Save
As screen. Click on Desktop in the Save in fly-out. Click on the Create
New Folder button. A new folder icon will appear on the screen with the
name New Folder highlighted. |

Name New Folder
Type the name you wish for your new folder. Your new text will replace
the New Folder label. Click off the folder in an empty part of the screen
to deselect the folder. You can now double click on the folder to make
this your active folder. Confirm that the new folder name appears in the
Save In window. |

This choice provides you with the file size, file type, date created,

Delete File
You can also delete files from the CorelDraw Open and Save as Windows.

will appear. Choose yes, and the file will be sent to the Recycle Bin.
