Chapter 3. CorelDRAW’s Ins and Outs: Importing, Exporting, and Saving Design Work

One of the very first things you learn as a new computer user is how to open and close files and how to use the Clipboard to copy data from one document window to another. To accomplish these basic tasks working with CorelDRAW X5, you have nothing new or exotic to do. But version X5 has additional functions and options, such as file handling and data import and export, to make your design experience efficient and the results professional. In this chapter, you’ll learn about file-saving options that let coworkers who are using previous versions of CorelDRAW work with your files and learn how to use timesaving templates and other file types. You’ll also see how to protect your work with CorelDRAW’s automatic backup feature, how to make the Clipboard work overtime for you, as well as how to store and retrieve scrapbook items and symbols and how to import and export graphics, text, and data into and out of CorelDRAW.
