Question
How can I Get a specific Pantone color in Corel x3. For Exmaple red 180c.

Answer
Hello Kay

The below description is from X4, I hope it's similar in your X3)

In the Uniform Fill dialog, click the Palettes tab.

Choose the color palette that you want in the Palette drop-down list. The "c" in 180c stands for Coated, so you probably want the PANTONE(R) solid coated palette. (As you probably know, paper coating prevents the ink from sinking into the paper quite as much, which affects the final color).

Now you can either choose a color from the color blocks on the left or select the color name from the Name drop-down list at the bottom-right.

Easy once you know!

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!
