This is in regards to proper kerning/tracking with coreldraw X7:

Unless I am doing something wrong, whenever I select (highlight) a couple of characters of just one word, it adjusts the spacing of all the letters in that word.
But that is not how kerning is supposed to work. You're supposed to be able to kern individual characters...

I hope this is fixed soon!
Thanks!

    What you are referring to is not actually kerning. It is Character spacing and Word spacing, and they always affect a whole paragraph, not selected only.
    The proper way to do it (if you don't want to use Joe's solution) is to select the characters and then use "Range kerning" from the Text Properties docker. Unfortunately it is only possible to kern in steps of 5%, for some unknown reason.
