White Angel,
I have the same problem in Corel Draw X4, efforts to secure an answer have been fruitless. The problem seems to be sporatic so the only way I have found to eliminate the problem (for a brief time) is to close the program and reboot the computer. If you get an answer, please let me know.
I there a way that you can reproduce this problem every single time? If yes, can you post the instructions in the forums so that someone can have a look at it (including the image in attachement).

Like most IRRITATING problems, it does not replicate itself every time. It seems to happen when I or White Angel do a lot of cutting and pasting. My guess would be the clip board is not emptying. If someone could tell me how to view what is on the clip board, I could do so and manually empty it, but I cannot find that info.
So if you know how to view the clipboard within Corel Draw and empty it, I think this would solve my problem.
Hello Larry, hello white Angel. This might not be a solution for your issues, I would follow Gerards suggestion. But if you want to get an info about your clipboard, you can get access to the clipboard within corel draw via macro.The following simple example pastes any available content into your current document, if the clipboard is empty, a message will appear.
Sub ClipboardData()
If Not Clipboard.Empty Then
ActiveLayer.Paste
Else
MsgBox "There is no data in the clipboard."
End If
End Sub
Open your VBA Editor and paste this into "GlobalMacros\ThisMacroStorage" and press play.
The following example removes any data from the clipboard.
Sub ClipboardClear()
Clipboard.Clear
The following example checks to see there is valid data in the clipboard. If there is valid data present, it is pasted into the active layer. If there is no valid data in the clipboard, a message displays in a message box.
Sub ClipboardValid()
If Clipboard.Valid Then
MsgBox "There is no valid data currently in the clipboard."
Mo,
Thank you for your solution, but I am a user not a programmer and have no clue as to how to accomplish what you just told me. Could you expand on your directions just a bit?
