Corel Draw X3 Text in a Frame
Quick links to procedures on this page:
Adding paragraph text
You add paragraph text in a document by using text frames. Paragraph text, also known as "block text," is generally reserved for larger bodies of text that have greater formatting requirements. For example, you can use paragraph text when creating brochures, newsletters, catalogs, or other text-intensive documents.
You can insert a text frame directly in the drawing window. You can also place text inside a graphic object, which increases the number of different shapes that you can use as text frames. You can create a text frame from a closed object and then type text inside the frame. You can separate the frame from the object at any time, so that you can modify them independently. You can convert a text frame back to an object.
If you want to see the layout of your document before you add the final content, you can fill the text frames with temporary placeholder text. You can also use custom placeholder text.
Paragraph text placed inside an object. You can make the object invisible by removing its outline.
By default, text frames have a fixed size, regardless of how much text you add to them. You can increase or decrease the frame size, so that the text fits in the frame. If you add more text than a frame allows, the text continues past the lower-right border of the text frame, but remains hidden. The color of the frame turns red to alert you that there's additional text. You can fix the overflow manually by increasing the frame size, adjusting the text size, adjusting the column width, or linking the frame to another text frame. For more information, see Combining and linking paragraph text frames.
The text frame turns red to indicate that there is additional text.
You can also choose to automatically adjust the point size of text so that it fits neatly inside a frame. If the text overflows, CorelDRAW automatically decreases the point size; if you have little text, the application expands it to fill the frame.

You can also change the formatting of selected paragraph text frames and any frames to which they are linked. For information, see To specify formatting preferences for text frames. You can also align text inside a text frame by using the baseline grid. For more information, see Aligning text by using the baseline grid.
In addition, you can assign hyperlinks to paragraph text. For more information, see To assign a hyperlink to text. You can also change the text orientation for Asian text. For more information, see To choose a text orientation for Asian text.
A red text frame indicates text overflow. You can fix the overflow manually by increasing the frame size, adjusting the text size, or linking the frame to another text frame. For more information, see Combining and linking paragraph text frames. You can also fix the overflow automatically by clicking Text 
You can use the Pick tool 
| • | Using the Pick tool , click the object in which you want to insert a text frame. |
If the frame contains content, the content is deleted when the frame reverts to a regular object.
You can also click the No frame button on the Layout toolbar. To open the Layout toolbar, click Window
| 3 . | Click Object Break paragraph text inside a path apart. |
When you separate a text frame from some objects, such as ellipses or stars, the text does not retain the shape of the object. Alternatively, the text is contained in a standard rectangular text frame.
You can customize the placeholder text by creating text in a word processor or text application and saving the document as placeholder.rtf. You then need to store the file in the following Users folder: My Documents\Corel\Corel Content. The next time that you launch the application, the customized placeholder text is inserted in the text frame. However, if you save the file using an incorrect file name or in the wrong folder, the default Lorem ipsum placeholder text is inserted in the text frame.
You can insert placeholder text in multiple frames by clicking Pick tool
You can also select the empty text frame, right-click, and choose Insert placeholder text.
When you insert placeholder text in the first frame in linked frames, the placeholder text fills all frames.
You can undo inserting placeholder text by clicking Edit
If you choose to fit text to a frame that is linked to other frames, the application adjusts the size of text in all linked text frames. For more information about linking text frames, see Combining and linking paragraph text frames.
