pasting problem

[wes70]

I recently re-loaded x4 on a new computer. Now it won't allow me to paste objects. For example, if I copy an image from a website, then open corel and paste... nothing there! I know it's a setting in corel because I can paste objects in Xara with no problems. Any suggestions?

Also, without starting a new thread, everytime I open a new page in corel, the page size is always in millimeters when I want inches. I go into tools and then options to change settings to inches, but it remains in millimeters when I go to open a new page.

X3 i cant paste when I copy image to clipboard off the web either, but can drag/drop it fine...

I can copy an image from pretty much any source and paste it into Corel X4. No help or tips.... just FYI.
Didn't know you were a Xara user Wes.

Page settings can be changed in (Tools, Customization.) not sure about the copy and paste problem.

Just realized that I didn't download SP2 when I installed x4 on new computer. Paste works great!

But the page measurement problem is still in effect!

Jhill, did you downloaded service pack 2?

For the latter problem with units of measure, in X3, you could change the measurement settings under Options->Rulers->Units, and then go to Tools->Save settings as Default. I imagine the same would be true or not far off for X4.

Thanks Travis, that worked!

Adrian, I started with Xara 5 and Xara 3D, now I have Photo and Graphic designer. Xara rocks for quick beveling / text effects and the color seems more accurate when it comes to printing.

Also, I need to get a basic website up. I see you used Xara for web design / layout... was it that difficult?
