    Need help with page setup / label printing

    Reply Contact

     

     I am a very casual user but loyal since Corel draw 2.0 many years ago.

    I am running X3 Version 13.0.0.739 ...

    In the past (older versions), when I wanted to create a label I went to the page setup, choose the Avery style and started drawing. Printing out was more or less automatically and I ended up with nice labels, formated right onto the Avery sheets.

    For the very first time I am trying the same thing in X3 using the AVERY 5371 under labels in Page Setup:

    Everything fine so far, the screen shows the correct size and I am designing. When I am trying to create a second page (label or businesscard) the screen goes back to letter size and I can't run  page setup again to put it in label mode again (greyed out).

    Whether I have only one page (label) or more in the document, when I am trying to output, everything falls back into letter size and my label is nicely centered on that page.

    What am I missing here or is X3 having a bug with page setup ...?

    I tried to get help from Corel but the want $25 just to talk to me Sad

    Did somebody had the same issue  or can somebody help me to to do the page setup right? I tried  Help and the Manual and did as stated there but it doesn't work....

    Thanks for any help

    Hi Voldhard

    CorelDRAW allows you to add different pages with differrent sizes. Check the image file attached and see if the wrong toggle switch is active.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Before I saw your reply, I got the same suggestion from Foster Coburn in the X3 newsgroup.

    I started a new document, toggled to "current" and pasted my drawing from the "old" file. Made 10 pages and set drawing on page one as master ... voila, like in old the days : printed and done!

    Again thanks for your help.
