Hi,
I just noticed a new nifty function in CorelDRAW: When you try to add text to an existing Rectangle object, the new Paragraph Text automatically becomes a child of that Rectangle object. Cool!
However, I've now decided to remove that Paragraph Text object and replace it with an Excel object for the better table functions it provides.
Now here comes the problem: How can I separate the Paragraph Text from the Rectangle object again?
I have added a couple of other objects to my page so far, and I don't want to undo all of this or re-reate a new Rectangle object.
Here's a screenshot demonstrating the situation:
Thanks,

Select both the objects by marquee select and go to Arrange - Break Apart. This will separate paragraph text frame from rectangle.

Gee, thanks, Pratik!
Well, one can find these "break apart" menu items usually in the Object Manager. Thus, I'd like to suggest Corel to clean up the menu and add that menu item to the Object Manager, too.

You can add it yourself if you want :). Check this video if it helps.

Many use keyboard short cuts. Ctrl+K for Break Apart, which reacts differently than expected in some cases. One must learn what Crtl+K does in each case. For instance, in Artistic Text that contain mulitple words. The first use of Break Apart breaks the words apart. The next breaks the letters apart.
