Pages are transposed in document.

I have been using CorelDraw X5 for three years to lay out a magazine. It worked fine under Windows 7, but I was forced to get a new computer with Windows 8. When I loaded CorelDraw, I got a message saying that it would work, but there were "issues".

Now one of those "issues" has apparently cropped up. CorelDraw is transposing some of my pages. The last two pages of one article are moved into the following article, and the first page of the following article is moved into the preceding article. If I move them back where they belong, Corel just moves them again. This is not only frustrating and annoying, it's eating up my time, and I'm on a deadline. Any suggestions?

    I would start by finding the corelDRW.exe file, which should be in somewhere like C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5\Programs or Programs64. Right click on that file and go to properties > compatibility. In there you should see an option "Run this program in compatibility mode for ..." and a dropdown.

    Is that option on, and is the compatibility selection either WIndows 7 or WIndows XP

    Concerning your document, does it involve linked text frames? And when you "move" the affected content back to where it belongs:

    • how are you moving it (ie, in object manager, page sorter view or some other method)?
    • does CorelDraw move it back immediately, or not until it is saved and re-opened?
    • do you have any images which are anchored to a specific point in paragraph text?
