Got Corel Draw 12 today, and when I am slightly less annoyed I will post my rant about the bloody post office charging an £8 handling charge for NOT delivering a package that has £4.29 VAT to pay.

It imports PC Draw files OK which ought to save a lot of work, except that there's something I'm not getting.

In PC draw I could set the page up as a multiple page banner, spanning several pages, so that I can see the whole thing at once, and see the page boundaries so that I could avoid putting important details on them. Is there any way to do this in Corel? Damned if I can figure it out...

Hmm, I'm not sure what the best approach is there. The only times I've done things like that, I've just given myself a single page that was the size of the final banner and split it up once I was done designing. There is probably a better way but I don't know it, sad to say.

Ugh - I hope that there's a better way than that, or things like the spaceship deck plans will be very difficult.

Pretty sure that's not possible. The only view that shows two or more pages simultaneously is the slide sorter view, and you don't edit there -- it's just for reorganizing pages.

I think a custom page then slicing it into separate pages just before printing is probably going to have to be the way to go, but I can't say I like it. I've had a suggestion about printing the document "tiled" which ought to help with that part.
