In this article, we will explore the basic operation methods and techniques of Coreldraw 10 page management, starting with the most basic page management commands.

Accessible page operation commands

In the Coreldraw 10 document, if you want to add or delete pages, the most commonly used are some related menu commands under the Layout menu: insert pages, delete pages, rename, switch page orientation, page settings, page background, and so on.

To add a new page, select "Layout" -> "Insert Page" to open the Insert Page dialog box.

There are many related options to specify the properties of the new page: Enter the number of pages you want to add in the "Insert" box, and then determine if the new page is to be inserted before or after the current page, specifying the current page number . Other options can also specify and even customize the size of all new pages and the page orientation.

Another common page management command is to delete pages. To delete unnecessary pages, select the "Delete Page" command from the "Layout", in the dialog box that appears, set to delete one or more pages in the document, or any page in the document. After this operation, the remaining pages will be Will automatically adjust. After selecting the "until pages" option, some or all pages can also be deleted in order.

Switch to page taxonomy view

Sometimes, using menu commands will feel a little "non-interactive", let's look at other methods that are simpler and more practical: use the "Page Sort View" to "overview" multiple pages (somewhat like the "Eagle Eye" in AutoCAD) , and can be managed intuitively (add, delete, copy, move, etc.).

To display all the pages in the document, choose View -> Page Sorter View. All pages will be displayed and sorted by thumbnails.

To perform page management, you need to perform operations. To perform operations, first select the page: In the page sort view, click to select a page; hold down “shift” and click to select multiple consecutive pages; press and hold “ctrl” and click to select not Continuous multiple pages. Although menu commands can also be selected in the page sort view, it is faster and easier to operate intuitively, or it can be done with the mouse. The following operation will explain how to perform page operations intuitively in the page sort view.

Add, delete, and name pages in page category view

To add a page, right-click on any page, select "Before inserting this page" or "Insert after this page" from the popup menu, as shown in Figure 1;

Add, delete, and name pages in page category view

To name a new page or rename an existing page, right-click on a page, choose Rename Page from the pop-up menu, and enter a new page name to complete the operation.

Fast page movement and copying

To move a page (some pages) and change its order, click and drag the page to a new location in the page sorting view. When dragging, a vertical "I" appears, indicating a single page (or The first page of the multi-page move) insertion point.

To copy the page (and of course all the content on the page), hold down the "ctrl" key while clicking and dragging, then there is a "+" under the cursor and a vertical "I" appears, indicating The insertion point of the copied page (or the first page of a copied multiple page).

Change the size and direction of the page

In the page category view, the attributes of all pages can be controlled through the property bar. Through it, you can set the standard page size such as A3, B2, custom page size paper type, change the page orientation, etc., as shown in Figure 2.

Change the size and direction of the page

To explore more tips, remember this tip: Use the page triage map to quickly export your selected page or pages. The method is: Select the page to be exported, click the "Export" button on the standard toolbar, open the "Export" dialog box, select "Export this page only".

This method can easily export specific or desired pages in a multi-page document.

Other tips

In addition to menu commands and page triage maps, there is a way. Did you notice the status bar above, as shown in Figure 9. Perhaps it has been turned a blind eye, in fact, it is sometimes convenient to use it for some page operations.

For example, clicking "+" will add a page to the first or last page of the document. Note This can only be done if the current page is the first page or the last page.

Also, using it for page sorting, moving and copying is also very intuitive and convenient. For example, after moving the second page to the fourth page (including the content on the corresponding page, of course), drag the page label of the second page to the page label of the fourth page.

If it is copied to a certain position, you need to hold down the "ctrl" key while dragging the page label (note that the cursor changes).

If there are many page labels in the document, you can move the cursor to the boundary between the label and the horizontal scroll bar. When the cursor changes to a bidirectional arrow, click and drag left or right to hide/show more page labels.

Obviously, adding a page will increase the size of the Coreldraw file, and it will have an impact on printing and printing. However, as an excellent vector drawing software, whether it is multi-page illustrations or the creation of web pages and illustrated brochures, Coreldraw 10's multi-page and its management functions have greatly benefited us. Take full advantage of them, I believe it is practical and convenient command, quick and easy operation will allow us to complete the work faster and better.
