Thursday Tip: Navigate Your Documents

August 14, 2008

When you are zoomed in on a document, it can sometimes be very difficult to use the scroll bars to move around to other areas of the page. Or maybe you are used to zooming out and back in to get to where you want to work.

It doesn’t have to be that difficult. Use the Navigator! There are two ways to access it. You can either click on the small square near the bottom right of the CorelDRAW (or Corel PHOTO-PAINT) window where the two scrollbars meet. When you do this, a thumbnail of the design will pop up and you can move to where you want in the drawing.

Having trouble finding that little square? Don’t worry, it gets even easier. Just press the letter N on your keyboard and the thumbnail of the graphic appears next to your cursor! It just doesn’t get any easier than that.
