When I paste fraction symbols from Outlook into CorelDraw, 1/2 and 1/4 paste incorrectly, as each other. For example, if someone sends me a paragraph with changes that I need to make to a sign design, and I copy and paste it into CorelDraw to reference while I'm working, if they included a 1/2 symbol, it would show in CorelDraw as 1/4 and vice versa. This has led to things being cut at the wrong size, wasting material. It happens in every version of CorelDraw that I have access to (2019, 2017, X7). The symbols paste correctly into other programs, so this seems to be an issue with Draw.
Does anyone know why this happens and if there's a way to fix it? Or will I just have to try to remember to correct fractions whenever I paste them into CorelDraw? Have they fixed it in 2022?
Thanks
The code for "¼" is Alt+0188 (numeric keypad) and "½" is Alt+0189.What happens if you type these combinations in a text block in Draw?Have you tried pasting from Outlook into a plain text document (Notepad for example), and then copy and paste from there?
