Title: CorelDRAW - Paragraph text to Artistic text?
Post by: Frog on September 30, 2015, 05:14:47 PM: I copied some text from an email, and it pastes as paragraph text. I'd limke to work with it as artistic text.
I know that I can do the opposite, but it appears to me that the only thing that I can do with paragraph text is convert it to curves.
Am I missing or overlooking something?

Post by: Frog on September 30, 2015, 06:23:59 PM: When I am back to art, I will try that, thanks.

When you have time could you do a screen shot?

Post by: cbjamel on September 30, 2015, 07:36:41 PM: Ok then, select text copy and paste should ask how you want it. Tell it artistic. Hopefully...

COPY>PASTE SPECIAL>TEXT>(RIGHT CLICK) CONVERT TO ARTISTIC TEXT.

Hope this helps.

Post by: tonyt79 on September 30, 2015, 08:02:45 PM: I usually copy the text from the email. Click artistic text like I am about to start typing and the ctrl v. To paste and it will pop up asking if I want to keep the text properties the same. Then they are normal

So, what the hell do you right click?

Thanks all.

Post by: aauusa on October 01, 2015, 09:13:35 AM: Andy what I was reffering to was control shift T and the paste into there. it will ask you if you want to keep font and format but this is the easiest way I have found.

another trick I learned with importing names from an excel sheet which works beautifully is by saving the excel file as a web page and then you open the file in your browser and just copy paste into corel. the only way I know how to get the names out of excel with ease.
