揂fter going through the Setup and clicking the
揑nstall?button on the 揜eady to install?setup screen, the Setup will
start to copy files and then reboot the machine without warning.
After reboot, the Setup will not continue.?/font>
The new ATI Rage 128 video drivers will address
this Setup problem.
Disk space requirement
Disk space required for this installation may
vary depending on drive configuration. For example, a 2Kb file on a FAT
(File Allocation Table) formatted disk will occupy 16Kb on a 1Gb drive,
and 32Kb on a 2Gb drive. The install bases its calculation on the actual
file size and not the required disk space size. Therefore, installing to
a large, partitioned drive that is FAT formatted, and is quite full, lack
of space errors may be encountered towards the end of the installation.
To conserve disk space on install, not all the
Frames and bitmap fills will be installed. They are however, all
included on the CD in their corresponding folders (\Custom\Frames and \Custom\Tiles).
Registration
As the On-line Registration Wizard does not accept
Asian characters, please enter information with your IME off, or register
your software using the other registration alternatives.

CorelDRAW® 9 Application
Readme Notes
File I/O
Temporary files are stored in the root directory
(i.e. c:\ drive). The drive can be changed in Tools, Options, Memory, however
it is only limited to the root directory of the specified drive.
Importing a *.cdr file will not maintain layers
and pages.
In order to maintain the position and size of
all objects created in a file while importing, press Space Bar or Enter
key when the import handle appears.
Exporting a *.cdr file to a *.cmx file format
will not maintain the page layout.
When saving CorelDRAW files (*.cdr) to previous
versions, Visual Basic for Applications projects will not be saved with
the file. A prompt to this effect will appear on save.
User Interface
Object Properties docker cannot be docked together
with any other dockers.
All roll-ups from CorelDRAW 8 have been converted
to dockers. Some dockers which are not accessible from the menus can be
customized in by going into Tool, Options, Customize.
Full details of Info Line on the Status bar can
be viewed in its entirety by invoking its tooltip.
Select Hidden Objects Feature
The modifier keys associated with this new feature,
Alt, Ctrl, and Shift cannot all be used at the same time. You can use Alt,
Alt-Shift, Alt-Ctrl but not Alt-Ctrl-Shift to combine all functions.
This feature can also be sensitive to movement
when using a Pen tablet. Select and move slowly for best results.
Transformations and the Transform tools
You cannot use the transform property bar and the
transform tools at the same time. The ''apply to duplicate'' button will
not apply to changes made to objects when using these tools.
Scrapbook/Clipart/Photos
Dragging objects from DRAW into any tab of the Scrapbook
will save only the selected objects, not all the objects in the file. This
is of particular concern when dealing with multiple page files. Please
be sure to save your file as well.
A Texture fill is an algorithmically generated
fill. Due to the complexity of these fills, only the default parameters
of the Texture fill will be stored in script recordings. This affects the
saving of Texture fills performed through the Favorite Fills and Outlines
page in the Scrapbook Docker. Any changes to the default Texture fill will
not be saved and must be re-applied after running the script or applying
the Favorite Fill.
The CorelDRAW 8 clipart collection that is contained
on CorelDRAW 8 CD#2 is in Corel Media Folders. To view this clipart
in Windows NT 4.0, the Corel Media Folders 8 application must be installed
or Internet Explorer 4.0 (Standard Installation) is required.
Eraser Tool
It is not possible to erase grouped objects. You
can, however, Ctrl-Pick an object within the group with the eraser tool
and erase it individually.
Knife Tool
With the ''Auto-Close On Cut'' option selected you
cannot cut an open curve using either the start or end nodes of the curve.
This also includes using the new Freehand Knife and Bezier Knife Tool functions.
Text and Styles
New Text Wrap Styles will not be maintained when
saving files back previous versions. The default straddle contour wrap
style will be applied to all objects in files saved as Version 8 or earlier.
Some refresh issues may be encountered when editing
text on systems that use a Matrox card; updating to the latest drivers
(v4.12 or later) will correct the problems.
Some limitations may occur when embedding script
fonts using TrueDoc?
If effects (such as blends, contours, lenses)
are applied to text strings containing an embedded graphic, the graphic
will not display on screen or when printed.
A discrepancy between Adobe Type1 font widths
when creating and opening files across Microsoft Windows NT and Windows
9x was detected in CorelDRAW 8 and has been corrected in CorelDRAW 9. However,
the new calculation has resulted in the following effects:
a) A file created in CorelDRAW 9 (running
on any Operating System) then saved as a Version 8 file, will contain no
font width discrepancy if opened in CorelDRAW 8 running on Windows NT,
but the text will appear narrower if the file is opened in CorelDRAW 8
running on Windows 9x.
b) A file created in CorelDRAW 8
(running on Windows 9x) opened in CorelDRAW 9 (running on Windows 9x) will
cause the text to appear wider (as though you had opened it in CorelDRAW
8 (running on Windows NT). A file created in CorelDRAW 8 (running on Windows
NT), will open just fine in CorelDRAW 9 running on any Operating System.
c) There are no problems saving and opening CorelDRAW
9 files between Operating Systems. All the discrepancies described above,
affect the appearance of the file only, there is no corruption in the data
in the file.
Asian Specific Text Features
Vertical Text attributes cannot be saved in Text
styles.
With the Inline-IME feature enabled, the automatic
spell checking feature may not identify the misspelled text immediately.
The default font used Panose Font matching is
an English font, therefore the default font must be manually changed to
a Japanese Font in Tools, Options, Text, Fonts, Panose Font Matching.
Artistic Media Tool
When selecting objects with the Artistic Media tool
for the creation of a new brush stroke, you can hold down the ALT key to
enable marquee selection with the Artistic Media tool.
Single clicking with this tool is reserved for
selection purposes. You can create a straight line segment or curve by
using the TAB key.
The Artistic media docker is only meant to be
used for applying changes to strokes that have already been created. To
change the brush type you must use the property bar.
It is not recommended that certain effects or
bitmaps are used when creating and saving brush strokes. A warning dialog
will let you know if the save transaction is not recommended. If you still
decide to save the stroke the results are as is.
Additional Spraylists can be obtained from CD#3
in the \Spraylist\Draw folder. Additional Brushes can be obtained from
CD#3 in the \Brsh_tex\Draw folder. To add a Spraylist or Brush to your
default list, simply copy it from the CD to the Program Files\Corel [substitute
your install path, if not default] \Graphics9\Draw\CustomMediaStrokes folder.
Take note that the files contained on the CD will be ''Read Only'' when copied
to the hard drive. To edit these files, ensure that the ''Read Only'' attribute
is removed from the file properties.
It is recommended that users avoid spraying complex
objects over each other. This will result in long display times.
Several of the sample Spraylist files contain
objects with low resolution texture fills. If you wish to print these
to high quality media (e.g., an imagesetter, high-resolution ink jet printer,
etc...), you should open these files in CorelDRAW and adjust the dpi of
the texture fills accordingly.
OLE
CorelDRAW objects with Texture, Vector or Bitmap
fills may have white lines through them when dragged and dropped into some
applications. To avoid these lines, copy and paste the objects into the
client application instead.
Copy\paste and drag\drop from CorelDRAW into Microsoft®
PowerPoint® 97 can be unreliable. To insert CorelDRAW objects into
Microsoft® PowerPoint®, open Microsoft® PowerPoint® and
select Insert\Object\CorelDRAW 9 Graphic.
To update a linked OLE object manually, select
the manual radio button from the Links dialog before opening the linked
object in its server application. The server application must be
shut down and re-opened each time for a manual update to occur.
In order to insert a GIF, JPEG, TIF and other
file types into CorelDRAW using Edit\Insert New Object, drag\drop or copy\paste,
it is necessary to do a Custom installation and select the File Associations
folder from both CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT components and check off
the desired file types.
Scripts and Presets
Multiple presets should not be applied onto the same
object. This feature has been disabled.
Bitmap Creation/Editing
Color adjustment and transformations from the Effects
menu are not applicable to objects with Bitmap or Texture fills. If certain
items under this menu are available it is because the object has an outline,
to which these effects are applicable.
It is normal for a cropped bitmap to lose it''s
cropping path when certain bitmap effects are applied.
Certain bitmap effects will have color swatch
and color picker tools inactive. This is because CorelDRAW does not utilize
this functionality, but Corel PHOTO-PAINT does.
Publish to Internet
For best GIF bitmap output when publishing to the
Internet, use the Adaptive palette setting and anti-aliasing checked off.
HTML output containing objects overlapped by form
objects may yield fractured representation of the underlying object. This
is dependent on browser convention for displaying the form object.
For most accurate results when creating hypergraphic
objects with empty space inside the perimeter of the object, using the
Trim command (and deleting the intersection object) is preferable to the
Combine command. This is when the desired hotspot area will correspond
to the objects outline.
Fills and Outlines
Color Styles
When using Autocreate, and Automatically Link
Similar Colors Together, a shift in color may be noticed. This is normal
behavior as Color Styles set a link between the styles created and the
objects in the document, and they are based on the HSB Color Model (Hue,
Saturation and Brightness). The colors are converted from the documents
color model (ie: CMYK) into the HSB color space and then back to the documents
color model again, (CMYK).
Palette Editor
Navigation through the selected palette can be
done using the arrow keys on the keyboard, but Enter, Spacebar, or F2 will
need to be selected in order to update the Name field.
Eyedropper
The Eyedropper in "Selection" mode will always
return an RGB value in the Color Docker, when an area of 25 pixels or greater
is selected.
The Eyedropper is a tool for the selection of
color only, and will not pick up other properties, such as Outline Width,
etc.
Multiple OnScreen Palettes
The ability to drag a color from one palette to
another is only possible when the palette that you are dragging the color
to is a custom palette. In other words, an editable palette. Fixed
Palettes will not accept other colors.
Tinting of Objects or Color Mixing
When an object has a fill or an outline or both,
you can tint or mix colors. To tint a fill only you use the CTRL
+ Click on a color. To tint an outline only, you use the CTRL + ALT+ Click
on a color. To tint both the Fill and the Outline at the same time, you
use CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Click on a color.
Postscript Fills
Postscript Fills may take longer to render to
the screen than other types of fills. To speed the display time of
the Postscript Fill, deselect the "Show Postscript fills in enhanced view"
setting in the Workspaces under Display. Deselecting this will not
allow you to see the actual fill, but rather a "PS" placeholder.
Guidelines
When opening CorelDRAW 8 files, the default guideline
color will change to the Layer 1 override color used originally when the
file was first saved in CorelDRAW 8.
Object Data Manager
Entering dates into the Object Data Manager
CorelDRAW 9 allows you to enter dates into the
Object Data Manager (ODM) datasheet for both the 20th and 21st centuries
while still using 2-digit shortcuts. If you enter 00 to 49, the date
will be assumed to be 2000 to 2049. If you enter 50 to 99, the date
will be assumed to be 1950 to 1999. You can override the century assumption
by entering 4 digits for the year, such as 4/26/2097.
To edit dates in the Object Data Manager:
If you remove and reenter the last two digits
of a date entered into an ODM datasheet, the original century will remain.
If you remove all 4 digits and reenter the last two digits, the century
will be assumed according to the cutoff dates described above. If
you want to change the century assumption, you must enter all 4 digits
for the date.
To set the Object Data Manager datasheet display
to default to 4 digits:
When you create a new ODM datasheet in CorelDRAW
8, the default date display is set to 2 digits. We recommend
that you change the date default to display all 4 digits so that you can
easily see which century is being assumed for the dates entered and displayed.
To do this, double click on the field, which opens the Object Data Field
Editor. Click on Change (under Format), and choose Format Type >
Date/Time. Then select a 4 digit year display.
Dates entered into the Object Data Manager datasheets
are stored as serial numbers. For example, if you typed a 1 into
a date formatted datasheet, it would be displayed as 12/31/1899.
Corel Corporation has a Year 2000 policy web site.
For the latest information, feel free to visit the site at http://www.corel.com/2000.htm
Documents with Multiple Page Sizes and Orientations
The new Default/Current page toggle on the property
bar, in between the Landscape Orientation button and the Drawing Units
drop down list, is used to create documents with multiple page sizes and
orientations. If the top of the toggle (icon has 3 pages on it) is
depressed then only the settings of the default page will be reflected
in the property bar. If bottom of the toggle is depressed (icon has
only one page on it) then the property bar will reflect the settings of
the current page.
Layout/Switch page orientation only changes the
orientation of the current page.
Object Manager
The Object Manager does not support dragging objects
across pages.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT®
9 Application Readme Notes
File I/O
New features in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 will not be saved
out in the previous CPT 7/8 file format used by Corel PHOTO-PAINT 7 and
8. Drop Shadows in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 will not be supported and
text will not be editable. Users that wish to save an image containing
Drop Shadows to the older Corel PHOTO-PAINT 7/8 CPT file format will first
have to either Split or Combine the shadows and their objects. Earlier
versions of Corel PHOTO-PAINT treated the shadows as separate objects,
and would not 憉nderstand?the new method in which Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9
treats the shadow as a property of the object.
.CPT files created in previous versions will be
opened as CPT 9 files. When you save the files, they will be saved
as CPT 9. If you wish to save out a .CPT file in a previous version,
you can use the File - Save As command.
File Open - Partial Load is now only available
for movie format files.
Color Management
In general, it is not recommended to operate an Imaging
application in a 256 color display environment since the colors in your
24bit images will appear dithered. It is recommended that you set
your display to 16 million colors or True Color for optimum color display
in imaging application.
Memory Management
Swap space, as a rule for any imaging application,
your available Swap Space should be approximately three times larger then
the size of the image that you are opening. So if you are opening
a 50 meg image, you should have at least 150 Meg free Swap Space available.
You can set your Swap Drives from Tools Menu - Options dialog. Select
Workspace - Memory option in the Options dialog and pick the drives that
you want to use for your Swap Drives. Select the drive with the greater
amount of free space as your Primary Swap Drive.
OLE
Drag & Drop of lens is limited to within Corel
PHOTO-PAINT 9.0, other applications cannot support Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9.0
Lens.
Undo/Redo and Scripting
Undo/Redo Docker
Undo/Redo Docker keeps track of all steps done
in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, this new feature can be used to undo steps.
You can save these steps and run them from the Recorder docker or edit
them through Corel SCRIPT Editor. Note that Edit - Undo and Edit
- Redo are still available for use.
The default Undo Level in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9
have been increased to 10. To improve in performance on slower machines,
you can decrease the number of Undo Levels.
Corel SCRIPT Editor
If you have CorelDRAW 8 still active on your system,
and install CorelDRAW 9 Suite (with Script Editor enabled on setup), the
Corel SCRIPT Editor will no longer work. This can be easily fixed
by copying the SCINT78.dll from the CorelDRAW 8 CD (Redist Folder) back
onto your system folder (Windows 95/98) or System32 Folder (Windows NT).
Both Editors will then work correctly.
Scripts
The ContactSheet script is only working with file
types specified in the Contact Sheet dialog box. Also when choosing a destination
folder for the generated file, choose the same folder as your initial files.
Paths
Paths in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 are now saved within
the CPT format. It is no longer necessary to save path files individually
from the image. Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 also supports various vector
file formats for importing/exporting paths however the older .pth file
format is no longer supported.
A workaround to use the older paths in version
9 is to convert paths to mask in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 8. Save the masks and
open in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9. You may then use the Mask to Path function
to convert them back in to vectors. Another option would be
to save the file in Version 8 as an EPS file with a clipping path.
The Clipping path will load as a path in Version 9.
Text
Text Selection
Under certain circumstances, de-selecting a highlighted
piece of text becomes difficult, simply press one of the arrow keys on
the keyboard to
de-select the text
Editing Text objects
Editing text objects created in previous versions
will cause single text objects to shift position a little. Multiple
line text objects will shift significantly more. This is due to changes
in the way that we handle text in the Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9.
Text spacing
Text sizing and spacing may appear differently
in Version 9 due to fixes to the Text engine since Version 8.
Drop Shadows
The interface for Drop Shadows has changed considerably
in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9. In previous versions, the Drop Shadow effect
was only available as a menu option; now, it is a handy, on-screen tool,
fully interactive, and much more flexible. While it may be a change
for users familiar with earlier versions of Corel PHOTO-PAINT, you''ll quickly
find it is much faster to use, and gives you a much wider range of Drop
Shadow possibilities. Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 also includes an accelerator
key (S) for quick access to this new tool.
Drop Shadow Performance Issue - Perspective Mode.
Users may encounter slow refresh rates when adding
to an object that has a perspective Drop Shadow. Objects with flat
Drop Shadows do not exhibit this behavior.
Objects and Lenses
Users may encounter some refresh issues with certain
lenses, if an object existing below the lens is moved. In such cases,
a refresh of the lens layer (by clicking the 慹ye?icon in the Object Docker
for the lens in question) will clear things up.
Effects
Duotone Images and Tune Effects
Though the Effects menu > Blur > Tune, ... > Noise
> Tune, and ... > Sharpen > Tune are disabled for images in paletted color
mode, these effects will work with duotone images. However, when previewing
the effect in on-screen preview mode, the in-dialog thumbnail images with
display in grayscale only.
LAB Color Mode
Due to the differences in the LAB color mode,
it is recommended to apply certain effects in RGB mode, then convert to
LAB mode. The following effects work best if first applied in RGB mode
then converted to LAB mode.
-
3D Effects: The Boss
-
3D Effects: Glass
-
Art Strokes: Pen and Ink
-
Art Strokes: Water Color
-
Creative: Kids Play: Paint by Numbers
-
Creative: Stained Glass
-
Color Transform: Psychedelic
-
Texture: Plaster Wall
-
Texture: Underpainting
3rd Party Plug-ins
Some of the Plug-in dialog boxes do not support a
display of 256 colors or less and consequently the display is very poor.
The current work around is to increase the video screen display to 16-Bit
[32k colors] or higher.
Format Plug-ins (Plug-ins that appear in the Filter
list for File - Open/Save and Import/Export dialogs) can now be installed
to any location. They no longer have to be placed within the \Filters\Plugins
directory.
When you using the repeat command, the plug-in
user interface is not necessarily accessed again. However this feature
varies with plug-ins. This pertains to the following 3 areas:
i) Edit - > Repeat (CTRL+L)
ii) Effects - > Repeat
iii) Undo/Redo list (Docker)
If you run into an error when trying to use an
Extensis plug-in - "Could not load registration libraries, please reinstall
plugin", this occurs because the file EtoolBox.dll was installed to another
directory. Do a search for the file EtoolBox.dll , usually found
in the area of where you installed the plug-in or in the Corel PHOTO-PAINT
directory. After finding the file, copy it into the directory (where
you had installed it to).
Input/Output plug-ins are supported for File -
Open/Save and Export but not File - Import.
Movies
QuickTime® MOV and QuickTime® VR
To Open/Save QuickTime® MOV and QuickTime®
VR files in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, you will need to have QuickTime® 3.0.2
or greater installed on your machine and have installed the associated
animation filters from the CorelDRAW 9 Setup. Both MOV and QTVR filters
are installed, by default, in a Typical CorelDRAW 9 installation.
An Installer for QuickTime® 3.0.2 is included on the CorelDRAW 9 CD#1
and can be accessed from the Intro.exe located at the root of the CD.
Movie Compression schemes on File - Save
Compression options are provided by your Operating
System and Third Party Sources for the different movie file formats.
Not all compression options will save the movie correctly if the width
of the movie is an odd number of pixels. To avoid this problem, resample
your movie so that the movie width is an even number of pixels.
MOV format file with Sound track
It is not recommended to change the frame rate
or number of frames for a MOV file which contains a Sound track.
Doing so may cause corruption of the sound track or the addition of extra
frames at end of movie to extend the movie to the length of the sound track.
QuickTime® MOV Compression dialog in Asian
Localized Operating Systems
Some of the text in the QuickTime® MOV Compression
dialog is unreadable in Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional and Korean
Asian Operating Systems. Specifically, the drop down lists for the
"Compressor", "Color depth" and "Frames per second" functions are affected.
Clicking Ok in the dialog will still allow you to save the file using the
default compression settings. Note: The QuickTime®
MOV Compression dialog appears when you save a QuickTime® MOV format
file and is provided by QuickTime®.
QuickTime® VR and Hot Spots
To reduce the operating time (loading hot spot
and linked object) when playing a panorama movie file in QuickTime®,
we recommend that you create Hotspot links from rectangular objects or
non-rectangular objects without Anti-Aliased edges.
MICROSOFT® VISUAL BASIC® FOR APPLICATIONS
(VBA)
The Corel PHOTO-PAINT Object model has only been
partially implemented in this release.
Asian Localization Issues
Japanese and Korean Users:
The Italic and the Bold buttons are not available
for all Japanese and Korean fonts. Bold is not available in CorelDRAW
or Corel PHOTO-PAINT for Korean Windows 95. These are Windows Specific
issues.

The default PostScript level for output from the
CorelDRAW 9 Suite is set to Level 2. If you are experiencing PostScript
errors on output, verify that your device supports PostScript Level 2 or
higher. If your output device is PostScript 3 compliant, be sure
to set the PostScript Level in DRAW to PostScript 3 to optimize RIP time.

Visual
Basic for Applications
General Issues
This version of CorelDRAW 9 includes Microsoft®
Visual Basic® for Applications 6.0. With the increased benefits of
this development environment comes some particular issues of which you
should be aware.
Visual Basic for Applications will not be installed
in a Typical or Minimal Install. You must select Custom install and then
select 揤isual Basic for Applications 6.0?from the Productivity Tools
category for it to be installed.
Selecting this option will automatically install
the Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications program files, as
well as Internet Explorer 5. Internet Explorer 5 is installed in order
to use the Digital Signature capabilities available within Microsoft®
Visual Basic® for Applications. Please see the section 揇igital Signatures?
for more detail.
Installing Microsoft® Visual Basic® for
Applications requires administrator privileges on Windows NT 4.0.
The release version of Microsoft® Visual Basic®
for Applications 6.0, that is shipped with your copy of CorelDRAW 9,
is not compatible with Microsoft® Office 2000® CPP (more commonly
referred to as Beta copy). They are using Visual Basic for Applications
6.0 Beta 2, and it will not run with the release version of Visual Basic
for Applications 6.0 installed. If you already have Microsoft® Office
2000® CPP installed, you must uninstall it in order to allow the release
version of Visual Basic for Applications that ships with CorelDRAW 9 to
install.
Digital Signatures
One of the new features available with Microsoft®
Visual Basic® for Applications 6.0, is the integration of Digital Signature
technology to assist in the prevention of unauthorized macro execution.
To enable Digital Signatures in Microsoft®
Visual Basic® for Applications, you must have installed Microsoft®
Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher. For your convenience we have included
Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5 (IE5) as part of our Microsoft®
Visual Basic® for Applications setup. This option will be selected
by default if you choose to install the Visual Basic for Applications component.
You can deselect the IE5 portion of the setup, however if you do not have
Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher on your system, you will not be able to
use Digital Signatures in your Visual Basic for Applications projects.
This installation of IE5 will install the Internet
Explorer 5.0 Browser only. It will upgrade your current Internet Explorer
3 or Internet Explorer 4 browser to the latest IE5 version. However, it
will not effect your other Internet Explorer applications, or any Netscape
applications. So if you are running Netscape Navigator® and never manually
launch IE5, it will not attempt to become you default browser. If you are
running Microsoft® NT 4, you will have to have installed Service Pack
3 or higher, in order to install IE5.
For our users who are using Microsoft® Internet
Explorer in languages other then English, please note the following. In
some cases where the appropriate language version of IE5 was not available,
the English version was included instead. What this means is that if you
have a French IE 4.01 and install our Digital Signatures Using IE5, your
browser will now become an English browser.
If you wish to try and digitally sign projects,
you can use the Selfcert.exe program found in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office directory. This program will allow you to create a self-signed
certificate, which can then be used to digitally sign your Visual Basic
for Applications project.
Security Issues
With the addition of Microsoft® Visual Basic®
for Applications into CorelDRAW 9, the real world requirements for macro
security become far more important. With the increase in benefits Microsoft®
Visual Basic® for Applications provides for it抯 users, it also requires
more diligent security efforts.
It is impossible to be infected with a Microsoft®
Word, Excel, PowerPoint® or Outlook® Visual Basic for Applications
virus, while using CorelDRAW 9. These viruses are written specifically
for the Microsoft® Office environment, and will not function in a CorelDRAW
environment. However it is important to still remain aware that there are
people who may try and write Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications
viruses that will effect CorelDRAW users.
CorelDRAW 9 will protect you from Microsoft®
Visual Basic® for Applications viruses, provided the macro virus protection
is turned on (this is the default setting). With the macro virus protection
turned on, every time you receive a document that contains macros, a dialog
box opens and allows you to choose whether to enable the macros. You should
always disable macros when you are not certain of their purpose, functionality
or their point of origin. By disabling macros that you do not trust, you
will render them useless. They cannot infect your system unless you run
them. An important enhancement to this procedure is to make sure you have
installed Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher on your system.
This will enable the Digital Signatures capabilities and will further increase,
not only the protection available, but simplify the usage of macro security
in general. For more information please select the 揝cripts Online?
menu item from your application''s Tools menu.
If you are unsure on what your security settings
are, or wish to change them then do the following:
1. Click on the Tools menu, point to Visual Basic
and then choose Security.
2. Select the level of security you want. High
security will allow only macros that have been digitally signed and trusted
to open. Unsigned macros will be automatically disabled. Medium security
always brings up the macro dialog protection box that allows you to disable
macros if you are unsure of the macros. Low will disable all security.
(If you are concerned about viruses then by this time I hope you wouldn''t
pick low!!)
Another important item in your security arsenal
is your anti-virus software. Run the latest anti-virus software, and scan
often. Also remember to keep your anti-virus software up to date by installing
the latest signature files for that company.
Global Macro Storage File
CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT support what is
called the GLOBAL MACRO STORAGE or GMS for short. This is basically a Visual
Basic for Applications project that is specific to the application, and
is always available when the application is active. This area provides
the user with the location to store global macros for use throughout their
application session. When you open the Visual Basic for Applications IDE,
you will see a project called 揋lobalMacros? This is the Visual Basic
for Applications project that is stored in the CorelDRAW9.GMS and in the
PHOTO-PAINT9.GMS file. This project not only allows you to store forms,
procedures, modules etc., but also contains events specific to the application.
Some of these events will coincide with your document events. In cases
such as this, the document event will be fired first and then the GlobalMacros
event will be fired.
CorelDRAW® & Corel PHOTO-PAINT®
Object Models
Those users familiar with Visual Basic operation
will notice that the Visual Basic for Application enabled applications
in CorelDRAW 9, have a variety of objects. Due to time constraints we were
not able to properly document the entire CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT
object models. You can see the organization of our object models by launching
the VBA IDE (Alt-F11) and selecting the Object Browser (F2). From there
select CorelDRAW or Corel PHOTO-PAINT to see the applications object model.
For more information please click on 揝cripts Online?in the Tools menu.
This will take you to the CorelDRAW script specific web page on our web
site.
One of the more interesting objects in CorelDRAW
and Corel PHOTO-PAINT is the Corel SCRIPT object. In order to ease the
transition between a Corel SCRIPT enabled application and a Visual Basic
for Applications enabled application we have created a Corel SCRIPT object.
This object corresponds to the existing commands available to each application
that were previously accessed through the Corel SCRIPT macro language.
This will make is easier for existing Corel SCRIPT users to modify existing
scripts, and to understand the syntax and parameters required to program
the Corel SCRIPT object''s methods.
Users will control CorelDRAW 9 applications through
VBA using the applications OLE Automation Type Library. This library is
automatically referenced for the application that you launched Visual Basic
for Applications from. In order to control other Corel applications you
must manual reference these applications. Please see the Visual Basic for
Applications on-line help for more information.
Visual Basic for Applications Play Dialog
CorelDRAW Visual Basic for Application projects
are named ??by default. If you have more than one project open and attempt
to run a macro, using the Visual Basic for Applications Play dialog, you
will only see the first project''s macros. This occurs due to a Visual Basic
for Applications issue, in which Visual Basic for Applications does not
distinguish between similarly named projects. Although you will see multiple
instances of "VBAProject", they all actually point to the same physical
project.
You can get around this problem by selecting 揂ll
Standard Projects?from the 揗acros In:?drop down list. This selection
will show you macros available in all projects. A better method is to make
sure you name your individual projects to a unique identifier rather then
the generic 揤BAProject?
Other Applications with Microsoft® Visual
Basic® for Applications
If you open another application''s file (such as
Visio) that has a Visual Basic for Applications project embedded in it,
that project will be discarded upon import.

that, should WordPerfect Office 2000 and CorelDRAW 9 both be installed
on the same system, the Writing Tool languages installed will be available
within both software applications.

Application
Integration
In order to allow CorelDRAW 9 or Corel PHOTO-PAINT
9 to be recognized by Corel VENTURA 8, an entry must be inserted into the
''ventura.ini'' file. For complete instructions, please refer to the topic
''Editing pictures in CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT'' within Corel VENTURA
8 Help. In summary (from the aforementioned help file), ''the VectorEdit
and BitmapEdit settings in the [EditIn] section of the VENTURA.INI file
identify the CorelDRAW (VectorEdit) and Corel PHOTO-PAINT (BitmapEdit)
versions that Corel VENTURA supports. You can find out what version of
Corel products you are running by clicking Help, About. If you install
new releases of CorelDRAW or Corel PHOTO-PAINT you should edit the [EditIn]
section of the VENTURA.INI file. Insert the version number in the appropriate
line after a semicolon. The updated section should read:
[EditIn]
VectorEdit=7.467;8.232;8.369;8.433;9.337
BitmapEdit=7.467;8.232;8.369;8.433;9.337
The default VENTURA.INI file can be edited with
any text editor and is located in C:\COREL\GRAPHICS8\WORKSPACE\VENTURA8\_DEFAULT.
You should not have Corel VENTURA running when editing VENTURA.INI.
