I am working on several sign layouts all for the same customer. To keep them together I added 2 pages to make the document three pages. I did this in both version 8 and version 10.
Whenever I make a post on the sign on the third page and move it to the back then click Save it automatically moves that post to the front and then puts it on all the pages. If I delete it on the pages it is not supposed to appear on it deletes from all pages (both v8 and v10).
I was on XP doing this. Well I pulled out my Windows 98 machine and started trying it on Corel 10 and I get the sames thing.
What the heck is going on????
This is driving me nuts!!!!!!!!
I have no viruses. My XP machine has bee weird and locking up a lot. Infact I went and bought a new hard drive and reinstalled XP from scratch but it's still wiggin' out. Guess it's the processor or memory. Took it to be bench tested.
So here I am back on Windows 98 and I still have the same problems so it must be Corel not the machines!! I have all the service packs installed too.
I can take that image, open a new page, copy and paste it to the new page then go back and delete the original and paste the copy. All is good until I change pages or save. Then it all goes haywire again.
UUUUUGUGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHG!!!
Any ideas greatly appreciated. I'm out of ideas.
I just figured out that printing does not show these weird things that show on the screen. Man this is crazy.
Guess it's just a corrupt file.

It sounds like you might have the posts on either the "master desktop" layer, or have inadvertantly created a master layer and are drawing on that. Try selecting your objects and looking at the bottom status bar to see what layer they are on. If you're not really using layers at all, then all objects should say "on Layer 1".
If that is the problem, you can open the object manager docker and with all the objects selected, click the little arrow at the top right on the docker and then select "Move to Layer...". The pointer will then change to a large arrow. Point it to "Layer 1" and click. Then select Layer 1 to make sure it is your active drawing layer and continue.
Master layers are there so you can lay out pages that will be a similar design, but might have different content on each page. If you want to make a design change, you only have to do it once on the master layer, instead of on all pages if you were to copy the graphics separately on each page.

Thanks to Bob Darnell & Glen Vollmer! Glen wrote me and stated that if there were any parts of the image that went beyond the page border it would show up on the other pages. I resized the page border and made it so all three pages reached within the border then moved the things from the Master Layer like Bob Darnell said and all was good to go.
Thank you letterheads!! I got my $50 worth today.
P.S. I took my XP machine to be bench tested and they said my processor was shot. Yippee!! If it's not one thing it's 20.
Thanks again!
Now, can anyone tell me how to get the registration thing to quit popping up. I've done the online registration several times and it still says it didn't work and I get a reminder every 14 days.
