Line up the words

I am close to reaching my goal! Just a little 'stork' again. With the letter L as the standard, you need to adjust so that the diameter of the ball is exactly the same as L and they are equal. The letter T must be vertically aligned with the letter L. The letter C must be in line with the T.

Create two horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the letter L

 

Select View> Snap To Guideline

Turn on 'catch sticky lines' mode

Get close vision, enough to cover the letter L and the ball

 

Select View> Simple Wireframe

Switch to the frame view mode to clearly see the two horizontal lines just created. The screen before your eyes will look similar to Figure 6

Stretch the ball so that it fits nicely between the two lines (Figure 6)

 

Thanks to the active binding mode, you can do the same operation very easily.

Type the left or right arrow keys depending on whether you want to 'move' the ball to the left or right a little

Figure 6

The 'inching' operation you just made helps us to 'refine' the location of the selected object. Similar to the left and right arrow keys, the 'up' and 'down' arrow keys allow 'fine-tuning' the object position vertically. Such functions of the arrow keys are very popular with CorelDRAW users. The ball that the arrow keys on the keyboard are often 'people CorelDRAW' affectionately called the key nudge (nudge key) .

Note

• If you use the click tool to click on the blank of the printed page (ie, do not select anything), an input box called a Nudge Offset will appear in the Property Bar. Corel Draw: Creating balls - Part 1 Picture 9Corel Draw: Creating balls - Part 1 Picture 9 . This is the place for you to specify the shift range of the selected object each time you type the arrow key.

Open the anchor window View Manager (select Tools> View Manager if you have closed this window) click on View 1 view

Remembered vision recovery

Select the T in the 'piece of cake' below the left and type the up or down arrow keys to refine the position of the letter T vertically so that it is 'viewable'

 

Now the letter T is in the 'selected' state.

Hold down Shift and click on the letter L

Choose the letter L

Type C

Center the T-center for a vertical line with the center of the L

You notice, the letter T is aligned with the letter L because the letter T is selected before the letter L. In general, the last selected object is the object taken as the standard when aligning. With this experience, we continue to align the C with the ball for the vertical line and align the letter C with the T for the horizontal line.

Select the letter C

 

Hold down Shift and click on the ball

Choose more balls

Type C key (Center align function)

Align the center of the C line straight along the center of the ball

Click somewhere to stop selecting the letter C and the ball

 

Click on the letter C

Select the letter C separately

Hold down Shift and click on T

Select the letter T

Type B key (Bottom align function)

Align the lower edge of the letter C to the horizontal line with the lower T-edge

Remove the alignment lines

 

Select View> Enhanced

Return to normal display mode. You get the result as shown in Figure 7

Press Ctrl + S
