At the bottom left-hand side of the screen in the Status Bar you will find an icon, a small right pointing triangle inside of a square. If you select that, you can choose which information the bottom corner of CorelDRAW displays.  If you are new to CorelDRAW, I would recommend selecting 'Information About Selected Tool'.  It will give you little tips and explain the purpose of the tool you are trying to use.  If you want even more in depth hints and direction, go to Help > Hints.  A powerful 'Hints' docker will display and every time you select a different tool it will show you how to use it.  In my opinion, this is a "must have turned on" feature for anyone new to CorelDRAW.
