Hi! I have a "big" problem in Corel X5. I started using Corel Draw since version 3 (not X3.... but 3) almost 20 years ago. Never a problem with layers.... now i'm using X5 and it's an Hell!!!!
I really hate new way to manage layers. Someone know if it's possible to extend actions on layers to EVERY page?? Just to explain my last problem: I have a file, 750 pages, many layers. Specially I have one layer called L-1 and anhoter layer called L-2. L-2 is BEYOND L-1 and I want to reverse situation putting L-2 OVER L-1. Working whit Corel X3 it's extremely simple: I reverse layers in one page and this action is extended to 749 remaining pages..... If I do same action in X5 layers change ONLY in the page where you are working.....

If you know a way (trick, setting, macro, miracle, voodoo........) to resolve this problem please reply.

Following code can be used to move L2 over L-1 on all pages
Sub Macro2() Dim p As Page ActiveDocument.BeginCommandGroup ("layers") For Each p In ActiveDocument.Pages p.Activate ActivePage.Layers("L-2").MoveAbove ActivePage.Layers("L-1") Next p ActiveDocument.EndCommandGroupEnd Sub

Old system was different and easy but not better on all aspect. For rexample, you don't have a Master Page, then you can't add page number to each page or separate page (you shoud use macro), Also you can't have, for example, different guides on each page.
