Navigating a Zoomed In Document

A convenient method of navigating around in a zoomed in document, without using the scroll bars at the right/bottom of the CorelDRAW Window or Corel PhotoPaint Window, is to hit the keyboard letter 'n' (while NOT in text mode) and navigate your view in the popup window. Once you position the view box (in the popup window), click on it and your view is navigated to your selection.

Another way to navigate around a document, use the wheel button of the mouse. With the cursor someplace on the workspace, press down on the mouse wheel. The display will show a quad arrow, denoting the four prime directions (up, down, left and right). The further you move the cursor from the the quad-arrow icon, the further you will be scrolling the image in that direction. When you are finished, press down on the wheel again, to disengage the scrolling effect.

Thanks for the useful info. I have spent a lot of time navigating a zommed document before running over this post and finding out about the "n" thingy, it's a good one. I have also googled up  and downloaded great CorelDra tutorials from this hotfile search engine http://rapidok.com

With the best regards.

I have just noticed your  "How to" tip - BRILLIANT! I always have trouble navigating around the "zoomed-in" graphic and I usually use the little magnifier at the bottom right corner of the working screen, but this is MUCH better!

Thanks

And a happy new year to you
