Using Text Creatively

Practical 3

CorelDRAW refers to 2 different text modes: Artistic Text and Paragraph Text. They are used for different purposes.

Artistic text can be used for small amounts of text and is generally simple to manage. It can be used to follow a path around a shape, or be manipulated using the extrude tool etc.

Paragraph text is used for large bodies of text and is used creatively to have the text flow around or inside objects. It can be linked to other text boxes that work interactively with each other.

To link text from various text boxes, select the text then click on the square at the top of the text box. Now click on the text box this needs to be linked to.

If the at the bottom of a text box contains a black inverted arrow like this, it is telling you there is an overflow of text in this text box. You will either need to make the text box larger of link the text box to another that can take the overflow.
