I have a rush order of 67 individual Coroplast signs that all contain numbers and graphs.
When I type my text in Corel, they never line up right vertically. I used to just fix that everytime, but there's no time to fool around this time. How do I get this done the fastest way?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

Lottie...In later versions of Corel you can break text apart. I type in the numbers hitting enter after each one. Break the text apart, select all of the numbers and align centres vertically. Only takes a sec to accomplish.

Things always happen when in a rush so you have a bunch of numbers that need to be right justified well Corel has that function so I maybe missing something. And if that does not work as you want try what Dave suggested and break your text apart "Ctrl K" then select and Align and Distribute and click to the right or short cut key "R". Just as a hint I try not to break my text apart it is always more work later if I have to go back and make changes to my text.

Thanks so much, this is what I was looking for. I was hoping to get around breaking the text apart. Seems now like such a basic thing, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who learned something
Correct answer in ten minutes... this has got to be the fastest BB on the net!

Rovelle, what you're missing is that Corel will centre using the control node of a text object rather than the actual outline of the letter. For most items the diference is negligable but sometime it'll bite you.
Rather than break text apart, I've always just hit 'ctrl q' (convert to curves) then 'Alt a a' to bring up the alignment window

You're right Mike, I'm with your opinion. Type letters with enter after each others, press Ctrl+K, press Ctrl+Q, press Alt+a a a for Align window.
