I have been using CorelDraw for years, and I ashamedly realized I don't know how to make a dot..[:S].. It is simply to mark the center of a circle. Since I need it very exact on a printout, I need a single point--not a little circle. The circles requiring the dot to mark center are usually in hairline. I imagine there must be a very easy way to do this.......
Thanks very much for any help!

How exact? You could make the circle (with no outline) really small. 0.001mm seems to be the smallest I can make it go. Is that small enough? (I had to zoom in 25,000% on an A4 page to even see it.) Then align with the centre of the circle.
I wouldn't use a font as the dot unless you convert it to curves before centering. If you leave it as text it will not be at true center see below. I'd suggest a macro. See code below this image as recorded with X3. May not work in X7.
Sub DotAtCenter() Dim OrigSelection As ShapeRange Set OrigSelection = ActiveSelectionRange Dim s1 As Shape Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(5.611941, 7.098469, 0.003815, -0.003815, 360#, 360#, False) s1.Fill.ApplyNoFill s1.Outline.SetProperties 0.003, OutlineStyles(0), CreateCMYKColor(45, 45, 45, 100), ArrowHeads(0), ArrowHeads(0), False, False, cdrOutlineButtLineCaps, cdrOutlineMiterLineJoin, 0#, 100, , , 45# s1.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 45, 45, 45, 100 s1.Outline.SetProperties 0# ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrCenter s1.SetSize 0.001, 0.001 s1.AlignToShape cdrAlignHCenter, OrigSelection(1), cdrTextAlignBoundingBox s1.AlignToShape cdrAlignVCenter, OrigSelection(1), cdrTextAlignBoundingBoxEnd Sub
