Displaying additional paragraph formatting options

If you want to visually set paragraphs apart and
help readers scan your document quickly, you
can organize information with bulleted lists. A
bullet is a text symbol that precedes each item
in a list.

You can apply bullets to existing paragraph text.

In CorelDRAW, you can quickly convert text to

a bulleted list.

To convert text to a bulleted list, select

paragraph text by using the Te x ttool.

Click the Paragraph button in the

Object properties docker. In the

Paragraph a r e a o f t h e Object properties

docker, click the down arrow located at the

bottom of the area to display additional

options. Enable the Bullets check box.

To modify a bullet, click the Bullet

settings button to the right of the Bullets

check box in the Paragraph area of the

Object properties docker.

Working with text frames

In CorelDRAW, you can customize a text frame

by modifying its size, position, and settings.

To add a background color to a frame,

select a frame by using the Pick tool.

Click the Frame button in the Object

properties docker. In the Frame area of

the Object properties docker, click the

Background color button.

Adding a background color to a text frame

W he n y o u t yp e i n a fr a me , th e s i ze of th e f r am e

does not automatically adjust to accommodate

the text. Therefore, if you add more text than

the frame allows, the text continues past the

lower-right border of the text frame, but

remains hidden. The color of the frame turns

red to alert you that there is additional text.
