I use CorelDRAW X4 exclusively (90%) for Laser work. I have a Page saved as Laser Page. It use to open with a 24 x 12 page area and Horizontal and vertical guidelines in place. It is set to "show guidelines."
However, every time I open a new document, the page layout and guidelines are not there. I always have to rebuild the page and add the guidelines. Can anyone tell me what has changed so that all I get is a blank page anymore? Or how to reestablish my defaults? I have re-saved it as my new default countless times but nothing sticks. It's a pain to have to always reestablish the layout I want to work with...
Thanks,
Dave
Have you tried Tools / save settings as defaut? or go to Tools/options/document and save options

Super.Dave said:Yes, many times. Nothing saves. Just get a blank page for all new documents.
I agree. I think is an another bug in x4.
I suppose that you are getting blank page with correct size (24x12) but no guide lines. As Save as default change page of the default page size for new documents.
If you want to open new documents incl. visible guide lines in pre-set positions then you should create a template and create new documents from this template.

Perhaps the questons is HOW do you create the guidelines. If you just drag a guideline from the rulers, of course it was not saved. But if you doble click on the page border to enter Document Setup, go to "guidelines" / Pressets, and add your own preset guidelines, than go to Options/Document and save options (including Guidelines) it should be saved by default to new documents. Try it and tell us if it works
