On the text edit the powerclip and adjust location and size if need be.

Curious if this is your first time trying Power Clip, or is this just a new problem with something that usually works.

Or maybe try this.....

Auto-Center PowerClip Contents - CorelDRAW X5


By default, the option to "Auto-Center New PowerClip Contents" is disabled in CorelDRAW X5.


To enable it:

Tools

>> Options

> >>Workspace

>>>> Edit

>>>>> Check "Auto-Center New PowerClip Contents"


Power-clip

It's buried in the blue quote box but he apparently got it to work

Thanks Frog..... Mark, it is working but you have to edit and move it manually if centered is not your default. Glad it worked for you.
