Can anyone try this and see if it's just me?
Type a word. Use the shape tool and nudge any of the letters either way. Okay, it works here. So far, so good.
Change the type to something like 200 points. Now try nudging the letters. It no longer works - I can no longer nudge an individual letter in any direction.
Just me or ? Being able to nudge the individual letters (manual kerning) seems to stop at about 150 points, on any font.
Hello Anna; Take a look at your Nudge setting , and if you Hold down the Shift key and press a arrow key it multiples the move, if you hold the Ctrl key it divides it.

That's not what I'm saying, George. I'm saying that the NUDGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL on individual letters at 150 points and over, but works perfectly at any point size smaller than that. I can't manually kern large-set type, PERIOD.
George is partially right; the Shift key is the key .For some reason moving letters is done as a percentage (of what? I have no idea).Nudging small font sizes will move them 1% but for some reason when font size is increased, it suddenly stops working.But, if you press and hold the Shift key and then nudge it is working again, 1% each time you nudge.Strange thing is, if you do this on small font sizes, Shift works as a multiplier. But it can be x5 or x12 or whatever, depending on font size.Confused? So am I. Has been like this for as long as I can remember.
I'll be darned. George, I'll give you the shift key hats off. I had JUST opened a file in X3 (we still have that installed) and nudge works just fine at ANY size there - when I reopened the file in X7 it no longer worked. I just tried it in X5 and it doesn't work there. ARRRGGH. Thanks, guys - I could NOT figure out why it was working in X3 and not in X7.
You're right, Joan, which means that George was completely right too.I was pretty sure that the nudge settings had nothing to do with the nudge letters setting (since one is a fixed unit and the other a percentage) but it appears that they actually are connected.Wonder if it always has been like this?
We still have X3 installed on one system at work and we have ALWAYS had our nudge settings at .01 -- X3 works fine no matter the point size. We skipped X4 at work but we have X5, and it seems to have the same issue as X7. I got this email from Tony Severenuk on another Corel list, and he confirms that if you change the nudge size it works:
