Why does my font keep going back to Arial 24pt. I keep changing it to to my technical 14 and even on a page that I have been using that font, it will change back. I have tried saving my workspace to correct the problem and nothing seems to work. In CD5 there was a Document page that you could set up all the fonts and bullets, etc. This is missing from 8. And don't get me started on how bad 19 is. Also, I love to know why I have to go back to the beginning every time I open CorelDraw on the connect docker. I don't use any files other than what is on my machine and this whole system of trying to connect you to the web, etc is just annoying and time consuming to have to set it up all over again. I end up keeping the program open all the time to avoid this.
Thanks for any help,O
There are two steps I do to change the default typeface and type size in CorelDRAW. In an open document without any text objects selected I'll click on the text tool and then select the typeface I want. That will bring up a dialog box for default settings, showing a list of the types of text objects (such as paragraph text, artistic text, etc). I click on the items I want the default to apply to and click OK. Then I repeat the process for the size of type objects. After I do that, I go to the Tools menu and click on the option "Save Settings As Default..." That usually works for me. It seems like I've had to repeat it every time I upgraded to a new version of CorelDRAW.
Yes, I do that but then it just changes back. I want to know how to keep the settings as a default for all documents, every time I open the program.
I don't understand why the changes wouldn't stick if you are performing all three of those steps.
Are you referring to default properties that are in effect after creating a new document?
Or are you referring to default properties that are in effect after you open an existing document?
Both. It has only been recently that it seems to change in the document. I always use technical and that is a Corel font from X5 and before. I notice with x8 and 19 that the font doesn't embed with the document now. I just don't understand why the global doc settings have disappeared. I didn't notice before because up until this week I have been using X5 and have been shy of using 19 because of how slow it is. That is another issue.
