Pick Tool and Text

Having a sudden problem with the pick tool. When I double-click over text, the tool does not become the text tool. Instead it becomes a "freehand" pick, which I'm not even sure what it does. Certainly doesn't work with text! I've checked all of my settings, and can't find a place to change it.  Anyone have a solution? Have I clicked on something unawares? Thank you!

  • disconnect your keyboard and try again. Maybe your shift-key has a problem.

    or you can make a backup and load core draw defaults:

    1. Go to Start
    2. Click Run

    Note: Windows Vista / 7 users can use the Start menu search box

    1. Type %appdata% and press Enter
    2. Open the Corel folder
    3. Right-click the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X# and choose Rename
    4. Change the name to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X#.old

    if select-tool works properly, you can delete old directory.

  • Problem resolved itself--still don't know why it began, but it is working fine now.
