weird formatting in x7

I am confused ( and upset) about how Corelx7 formats forced justified paragraph text. In x5, in lines of paragraph text, let's say there are few words in that line, the words would retain proper character spacing but the word spacing would be increased ( more space between words). This was fine. In X7 I notice that the space between letters is increased and it looks ridiculous. There is so much space between letters that one cannot identify separate words. I tried to find some setting where i can define a maximum letter spacing but cannot find one. Has anyone else come across this problem and if so, how did you manage to find a solution? This especially happens when i choose "update text" from a  corel x5 file ( but also happens when creating a new file in x7 when i import a text from the internet for example).

thanks,

impwriter.

  • I have not noticed that problem in any full-justify paragraphs. Have you checked that you are using full-justify and not force-justify, which might need to do that on the last line of a paragraph.

    It may also happen if you have an unusually long word that cannot be split, or very narrow paragraphs compared with the font size -- but previous versions would surely have done the same if the text cannot be made to fit

    • Perhaps the spacing settings are mucked up...try opening the Spacing Settings window from the Object Properties docker and check what it has in there for numbers compared to X5.

      • Tony, thanks for trying. It's not the justifying spacing settings, which are the same as those i had in x5., (and if i change those the whole paragraph layout changes which is not good). It could be a problem that only exists in Hebrew. I will need to do some trials in English a bit later on ( but even if it only Hebrew i must find a solution, otherwise my upgrade to x7 was for naught).
        • Hello impwriter; To add a little to whats said above you can add icons on the  screen from Corel as the screen shot below, and once you ge it adjusted where you want it make a copy and convert it to curves.
