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.

  • Use Align and Distribute instead of the transformation docker. You have
    the choice to align your object to the top and left edges of your page.
    After opening the ALIGN AND DISTRIBUTE dialog, change the "Align objects
    to:" option to "edge of Page". The default is set for "Active Objects".
