Aligning text


CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 provides various
options for aligning text. You can align text in
relation to its frame or bounding box, or in
relation to other objects.


In CorelDRAW, you can align both paragraph
and artistic text. You can align paragraph text
horizontally and vertically in relation to its text
frame. You can align artistic text only
horizontally. If you haven’t shifted the
characters horizontally, applying no alignment
