you can drag guidelines off the rulers to serve as drawing aids.
Scroll Bars
The scroll bars allow you to shift the page horizontally and vertically.
Drawing Windows
The large white portion of the screen is the drawing windows. The rectangle with the drop
shadow is the printable page.
Roll-up Window
The Transform (Position) roll-up is shown on the left. Although they are not permanent
part of the interface (they can be if you want). You can use them to control many of
CorelDraw’s operations. Their beauty lies in the fact that they can remain active for playing
quick “what-ifs” without going through the longer process of invoking a standard menu
dialog box.
Status Bar
Status bar shows the fill pattern, outline location, movement and absolute coordinates of
selected object.
Colour Palette
The colour palette allows for the quick application of a colored fill or outline colour.
Selecting the scrollbar at the bottom of the palette opens an expanded color palette.
