Quickly divide a page into three sections in CorelDRAW
April 24th, 2009 Val
Today I needed to create a bulletin insert for the church. It had to fit on 1/3 sheet of paper in landscape orientation so we could cut the paper and make three inserts per page. I thought I’d share the quickest way I know to do that if you don’t already have a template set up. I believe this works in just about every version of CorelDRAW since at least 5, probably before that.
Open CorelDRAW with a new document.
Set the paper orientation if it isn’t right (Layout -> Switch Page Orientation) or use the icons in the document property bar when nothing is selected and the Pick tool is active.
Drag out four vertical guidelines from the vertical ruler. Select them all with the Pick tool.
Open the Align and Distribute dialog from the Property bar icon or the Arrange Menu.
On the Distribute tab, check Spacing at the top of the dialog and activate Extent of Page in the Distribute To: section. Click Apply.
You now have a page evenly divided into three sections.
