Hello!
So, i paste some text from windows word (originaly it was a table). But in corel draw texts are grouped. So i ungroup them, and try to combie them, but order of letters has changed! Why is that?
and i notice that every time i try to combine text.... i would understand if one word would be on other place, and corel should straighten text, that is logical. But if text are straighten originaly, i don't see no reason why should corel change letter order...
Thanks!
Hi Msenjur
I think a possible solution to your problem will be to firstly add a "return" or "enter" at the end of each line of imported text, this way when combined the text will not just be one long line. Also I believe that when combined text will be grouped from the top object in the layer to the last. You can check this with your "Object Manager" docker. All you need to do is ensure your text is layered correctly...the first line being the first object in your layer, down to last last in order.
I hoep this makes sense and is of some help to you.

The solution is much easier. Keep in mind that when you're combining objects like shapes AND/OR text (independendly if converted to curves or not): you combine one object TO another, not with each other. That means: the order of combining objects is very important to avoid such issues as described!
For example: object A is filled with red, object B is filled with green.
You klick A at first, holding "shift", and then klick B, and then combine. The result: The combined shape is filled with green.
You klick B at first, holding "shift", and then klick A, and then combine. Voila: The combined shape is red.
So the final shape will take the last chosen shape-color.
For combining text: try to klick it one by one in the order as wanted (I haven't found out yet, why it doesn't work with drag-selections in any direction), and the order of selection is the order of combination.
Try it!
Hi
Just a recommendation. If you need to get the table as it is in CorelDRAW, use table tool in X4. Works great except if you need to impose the page layout for printing.

yes, your solution works, but it is very complicated, if you have a lot of text...
solution with object manager works!
Mo: your solution doesn't work! i tryed all directions, selecting with shift... it always changes...
Anand: i don't need tables in x4, i just need text in it! thanks anyway...
I am sorry, even though confused.
I'm using X3, but I can't imagine there is a difference between X3 and X4 in this case.
I've tried out what I wrote before I post the comment, and I've tried the same before I wrote THIS comment. Both times it worked perfectly, when I selectet in the right order. I will check again what I've suggested to exclude missunderstandings.
