Question
Hi I was working in Corel Draw X3 and I hit control v to paste something from one document into another and the program just shut without warning and this has happened a few times but not every time, can you help?
Regard
Jenny

Answer
Hi Jenny

The only thing which I have found to spontaneously kill CorelDraw over the years and through various versions is Paragraph Text, especially when adjusting the line-spacing using the Shape tool. They still haven't sorted this one out in version X4, pah!

Something in what you're doing is upsetting the system but I don't have an instant solution. You need to get a feeling for the kind of thing which causes it and then make sure you save before attempting it in the future!

Expertise

My main area of continuous expertise with CorelDraw involves setting press advertisements and I have rarely used it to produce complex drawings. However as director of a small company I have amassed a good deal of background knowledge of computers, various printers and networks over the years. When it comes to problem-solving, I have a long history of having nobody to ask but myself and, lately, the internet!

Experience

About 20 years' experience in daily use, from version 1

Education/Credentials
University educated and over 2 decades of hands-on experience

My first printer was a Star LC10 Colour and I once paid £1745 for an HP Laserjet III.
