change x-y (0-0)

I am using CorelDrawX4 to create and send files to a Laser Engraver.
In Corel, I always click and drag my 0-0 to be at the upper left corner of my page.
I select my artwork then go to the OBJECTS POSITION (in the toolbar, in the upper left part of the screen).
I type in 0 (zero) for the x position and 0 (zero) for the y position and hit ENTER.
The "center" of my artwork always goes to the 0-0 position.
Is there a way to have the "upper left corner" of my artwork ALWAYS go to the 0-0 position?
I tried to change this in the "transformations/positions" docker, but it does not stay as a default.
I have attached two screen shots to hopefully aid in describing my question.

Thank you in advance for your help.

  • I have a module listed under GlobalMacros named zeromark which consists
    of this (I also have a shortcut of it on the toolbar):

    Sub originattopleft()
    Dim oPage As CorelDRAW.Page
    'Place origin at top left
    With ActiveDocument
    Set oPage = .ActivePage
    .DrawingOriginY = oPage.SizeHeight / 2
    End With
    End Sub
