Question
I need to put some hindi text in coredraw design. How can i do this.

Answer
Hi Richa

You have two problems.

1. You will need to be using a font in CorelDraw which contains Hindi characters, such as Arial.

2. You need to find a way to type these characters on your page. 3 suggestions below:
A. If you are typing a lot of Hindi, perhaps you should order a Hindi keyboard and load a Hindi keyboard map (Control Panel/Regional and Language Options/Languages).
B. If you only need to write a little Hindi, you could use the Character Map (Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map) to enter your letters one-by-one.
C. You could use translate.google.com to create the text in Hindi, then copy/paste the result into CorelDraw.

Good luck with your project! Please let me know how you get on - thank you.

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!
