For some reason i can no longer copy and paste text from one page to another properly.
I write the text out as normal (not using a text box) but when i copy and then try to past to another page it then does several other things.
It changes the font and cap height, puts it onto a text box and centres it on the page?
Why???
If i copy and paste text along with an object (say a simple box) everything copies and pastes perfectly, just not text on its own

So, this is "Artistic Text" (as Corel describes it), as distinct from "Paragraph" text.
But you are getting paragraph text when you paste.
I think probably you have selected some or all characters from the original object (highlighting them using the text tool). That works, but before you paste to the new page, you have to click with the text tool in the place where you want the pasted characters to appear.
The easier way is to select the text object with the pick tool. If you do that, the text object (not just the characters in it) will be copied to the clipboard and the paste will be another artistic text object.
That method you mentioned works fine, but isnt practical for my requirements.
When i copy and paste 'artistic text' i need it to be in the exact same page location albeit on a different page
Clicking roughly where i want it to g isnt sufficient unfortunately
Never had this issue with any other version of Corel draw

That can happen, but you must select the text object (using the pick tool):
and not just the characters of text within it :
I don't have X5, but it works that way in X4 and X6 so I'm sure X5 should do that too.
But I notice http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/t/32197.aspx is dealing with the same problem but in X6 and thinks it might be influenced by lack of memory. But it would seem strange if it had been a problem in X5 too, and nobody else noticed it before today.
I never had this problem in X5. I only get this problem now in X6. I am pinpointing what program(s) conflict now.
