Changing defaults for most things in CorelDRAW are done in a similar fashion. An example would be fonts. The default is 24-point, but I may want 12-point as my default. By clicking my font icon, with nothing selected, I can type “12” into the Font Size box. It will ask if I want Paragraph, Artistic, or Dimension text to be changed. I choose both Paragraph and Artistic, leaving Dimensions unchanged, and then press the Enter key on my keyboard to apply the changes.

Doug Zender has used CorelDRAW extensively since version 4. His goal is to minimize the intimidation of the program and give users the sense that CorelDRAW is a friend, not an adversary. Doug began as a design artist, then moved into the sign industry in 1992 doing vinyl graphics. You can contact him at dezender1@gmail.com.
