Help : How to slant text in CorelDRAW (resolved)
Hi,
I need some help with CorelDRAW 12. I am trying to re-create some text from an exisiting business card. The font I am trying to us is a round point ( don't remember the name of the font right now and it is not on this computer).
I need to be able to get some but not all of the text to "lean" to the right just a bit. How do I do it? Anyone?

Chuck..
If the font doesn't support italics (or if the standard italics isn't what you're looking for..), here's how to get a slanted effect:
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Type your text into a standard text block

2. Press CTRL+F8 to convert to curves

3. If the object is selected, Click the center 'X' on the object once more (puts it from "stretch" mode into "rotate and shift" mode)

4. Click and drag the top "handle" to stretch the text relative to a base point. (slant)

And you're done!
