Brand new to Corel Draw.
Sorry about the simplistic question but can someone help me.
Recently scanned a picture, after much frustration learnt how to use the pen tool.
Completed the outlining of a magazine trophy image and then when I go to save it or move it, I only get the outline that I did with the pen tool.
This may be a simple question but if someone would be kind enough to help, it would be much appreciated.
One day I may be able to contribute.
Thank you.

Hi.
When you saved did you have the selected only checkbox checked?
Also when you open the document, make sure there are no other pages. The graphic could be on another page.
Also double click the magnifying glass tool. This will put all items into view.
Also try switching your view. Got to View > Enhanced.

I guess it is a matter of personal preference -- I like using the 'Freehand' tool while others like the 'Bezier' tool. The difference that I notice is that with the bezier tool, once you have completed a circuit (closing at the end of the start), you have to click the tool again is you wish to draw at a different location or else the line continues from the last area, while with the freehand tool, although it will draw each seperate area, there remains a continuous feeding of a line, so that you may need to pay special attention where you place each tip.
