Author Topic: CorelDraw "Quick Correct" question

CorelDraw has an option called Quick Correct that will automatically replace a string of text with a predefined string. For example, one could enter "ADN" and it will automatically be replaced with "AND".

Quick Correct is found under Text / Writing Tools / Quick Correct.

When I enter a fraction like 1/2 (in 24 point), Quick Correct will automatically replace it with a smaller point size 1/2.

My list of Quick Correct has the 1/2 fraction replacement, there are no corrections for other fractions such as 1/4, 1/8, etc.

I know how to add another "correction definition" but I can not figure out how to make the "replacement text" a smaller point size.

So my question is this;

I want to add 1/4 to the quick correct list. In the "REPLACE" box I enter 1/4, in the "WITH" box I again enter 1/4. The question is…How do I change the point size of the fraction in the "With" box???

Thanks

these are the 2 i know of
alt+172 should display ¼
alt+171 should display ½

these are ascii codes
you type in the number while keeping the alt key down.

g'luck!

Thanks for the fast reply Elaine.

I tried your suggestion but the "WITH" box would not allow the insertion of the Alt sequence.

Barry....1/4 or ¼ is actually alt/0188 and MUST be typed on the numeric keypad...not the numbers across the top of your keyboard.

PS: the code for ¾ is alt/0190

As far as point size is concerned the ½ is concerned, in CorelDraw, it looks to be the same point size as the rest of a sentence to me since the overall height of the character is the same as the caps in the sentence.
