[DTP] Ques 2009 : (a) What do you mean by templates in Corel Draw? How it is created, edited and saved?
(b) How does the undo setting and access drawing information customized? Also describe fountain fills, pattern fills, mesh fills and texture fills.

(a) Ans: Templates in CorelDRAW:
Templates are specialized files that may be saved based on existing settings and/or document contents.Templates can be used as starting points to avoid repetitive page setup, document defaults, and other document-specific properties. we can recognize template files by their unique .cdt file extension.


Opening Templates:
To open an existing template file with the aim of creating a new document based on the template, choose file-> New From Template to open the New From Template dialog, as shown in figure:

Here we can choose from a half-dozen categories organized into tabbed areas based on document type.
Clicking each tabbed area reveals lists of template files. While a template is selected , the preview window displays a thumbnail of the first page of the template. To include the template's content and its setup and formatting, when opening a document based on a template, click the Include Graphics option (Selected by default) or deselect the option to open a blank shell,
Click OK or double-click the file to open a new unsaved document using the template's properties and /or content.


Creating/Saving Template:
We can open any template file for editing and change its actual template format and / or it's content. Use the File-> Open Command and choose CorelDRAW Template (CDT) as the file type.


Before the file opens, a dialog will ask whether we want to open the template as a new document or for editing. If our aim is to open a new document based on the template content and structure, leave New From Template option in combination with the With Contents option. If we want to edit the template file our self, choose Open For Editing.
When saving an edited template file, performing a Save command automatically saves the file as template without opening any dialog -- and without the need to re-specify the file as a CDT template file in the Save dialog box.


(b) Ans:  
The undo setting: 

When it happens to backing out of a multistep operations or accomplishing a task by trial and error, there's nothing better than the Undo Command. This option provides all kinds of ways for us to reverse our last action.
   It is possible using the Basic Undo Commands:
Choose Edit-> Undo or use the standard Ctrl+Z shortcut. To reverse an Undo command, choose Edit->Redo or use the Ctrl+Shift+Z shortcut.
CorelDRAW 12 provides both of these commands Undo and Redo as buttons in the Standard Toolbar, which may be used either to Undo or Redo Single or multiple commands. These Standard toolbar Undo/Redo buttons have the new popout menus, in which clicking the button applies to the most recent actions, and clicking the popout reveals a brief listing of recent commands.
Undo and Redo popouts show our most recent actions at the top of the listing.
We can customize the number of Undo levels in CorelDraw. Default settings are set to record our 20 most recent actions, but this value may be set as high as 99,999 actions. To access Undo options, open the Options dialog (Ctrl + J) , and click General.
Using the Undo Docker
Coreldraw provides Undo Docker, for more control over our most recent actions. We can open Undo Docker by choosing Tools-> Undo Docker. It enables us to view our drawing as it appeared prior to certain recent actions and/or save our recent actions as a Visual Basic for Applcations (VBA) macro.
The Undo Docker displays our most recent actions in reverse of the Undo and Redo popout menus, with recent actions placed at the bottom of the docker list.

Drawing information customized

For a quick summary of our document's contents, use the Document Information dialog. We choose File->Document Info to open the dialog and use the available options to list specific information. Categories consist of File, Document, Graphic Objects, Text Statistics, Bitmaps, Styles, Effects, Fills, and Outlines.
