Main Menu
Click on any of the Menu Items to expand the menu choices. The Main Menu
provides all the functions for file management and object control. There
are no drawing tools in this section. CorelDraw uses the Toolbar to create
new items. This menu sample has been broken into two rows to conserve
space. On your screen it is across the top of your screen in one line.
Selections that are available to you are shown in black in each menu list.
If the choice is gray, that choice is not available to you. |

File Menu
Click on File to expand the menu. This menu provides the options for file
management, obtaining images through import or scanning and export. Anything
that deals with a new file element coming from another source, or being
sent to another source as a file is controlled here. Note the fly-out
symbol beside Acquire Image and others. This indicates that there are
more choices within that option. Click on the fly-out symbol to expand
your choices. |

Edit Menu
Click on Edit to expand the menu. Edit menus are fairly consistent through
all Windows applications. Cut, Copy and Paste are always located here,
as are delete, duplication and search tools. The Edit menu provides tools
for selected objects. Note the Properties at the bottom of the menu. This
selection provides detailed information about the selected object. |

Click on View to expand the menu. This menu offers viewing quality options
(zoom is not included here but is offered through the Toolbar). You will

objects relate to these properties. You also have ruler control options
with this menu. |

Layout Menu
Click on Layout to expand menu. The layout menu provides page management
controls. Add, delete pages, move around a multi-page document … all is
controlled from this menu. Note the Page Setup Option. This selection
provides control for all page properties. |

to make your work easier and more accurate. This is where you will find
controls to transform objects numerically (as opposed to editing with
the mouse), order, arrange, group and position objects. This is the main
object control menu. |
