Publish to PDF exports full page not an item

Hiya, 

I have recently had to build a new PC and in turn have had to reinstall my version of Corel onto it. Now in the past, I used to be able to select any item on my page and goto file>publish to pdf> choose prepress and save and it would save just that part of my design. 

On trying to do the same on the new PC even though I select an item and follow the same steps as previous, it will 1. only print what is on the document page and 2 all of the design. 

What settings have I got to alter to make it do select only as I have no option to change it and it is the same program as what was on my last machine. 

thanks in advance
