Fred, I'm sorry...gross sales/gross profits does have uses; you make very valid points. I just think it can be deceptive, too. If it's all a person considers, some very damaging decisions can be made. Maybe $1/2 million in annual sales means the owner could expect $27,000 in annual salary...

Gross sales (if that is what you mean) is one of the most decieving figures I can think of. You can gross a million dollars per year but wind up deeper in the hole with each passing year if you don't understand your expense picture well (prior accounting student here). People put far too much...

Whoa! I've always been leary of that kind of stuff...but I didn't figure a big company like Time-Warner would bother to follow up on a local guy like that. Was the fellow churning out a lot of the copyrighted stuff or advertising it or something? A kid wants me to do some carbeurator...

Colin, It's CorelDraw v. 12 I was very careful to check for duplicates, etc....Jimdes technique worked beautifully...I'd like to know why it doesn't work the way it should, though. But I can get by using the Jimdes technique. --William

THAT did it! Yahoo! (But that is NOT how I should HAVE to do it!)

I am fairly certain that none of these things are the problems. When not connected the two fonts do fine when converted to curves. In the first attached file: In the top line the "am" and the "B" are both converted to curves and doing fine. The "a" had to be welded to the "m," but that...

Well, I had to resubmit the question with my serial number...some serial numbers apparently do not qualify for customer service...I'm not sure if mine does, but it will be tomorrow some time before I hear back from Corel (I gave them a link to this thread). --William

Ah...sort of like a conversation piece.

My dad owned a business for near 20 years and managed someone else's company for about 5 years. I worked for my dad in the sign business since I was seven years old. I mostly prepped 4x8 MDO plywood blanks. When he managed the other fellows business, I mostly blocked out billboards, prepped...

I thought I had this screen name copyrighted??? My lawyers will be getting in touch with your lawyers...though since you've added "p8ntr" I might not have a leg to stand on... I've got lots of opinions...don't know how many of them are informed ones, though. All kidding aside...welcome to...

Helloooo! from Northwest Fla. --William Bass

So far as I can tell it isn't: an open curve, or an overlying or duplicated path My "amB" example is fairly simple (I think)...the other things I don't know about...sounds like Adobe Illustrator problems to me...last time I used illustrator was v4.1 If it is the font, I don't understand how...

I have used 8, 9, and now have 12... I prefer 12. The thing I like the most is the improved snap-to-objects features. If you find yourself doing a lot of node-editing, the improved snap-to-objects features can take some of the effort out of that. In which case, you might consider the...

It seems to happen mostly with LetterHead fonts...but I've seen it happen other times too (I think). Here is an example...Eclat mixed with Steven's Percepta Bold (Letterhead Font). I tried the "am" Eclat with a cap "B" from Eclat...worked fine...not with the Percepta Bold, though. (there...

Hey fellow CorelHeads, This happens every so often...an inside object will remain solid within the outside object after I combine the two (the inner object should become a hole in the outer object). Any time it happens it seems very persnickety about that particular curve set-up...yet...

I would try contacting CorelDraw about a problem like this...sounds very wrong...perhaps a bad disc...{shrugs shoulders}<SHRUGS shoulders>

I live in Northwest Florida...if it is any colder in Wisconsin than here in Northwest Florida then it is too far up north. I read a little article about employees in an ice factory in Maine trying to stay warm by huddling in the freezers (it's only 0 degrees in the freezers...-30 or -60 or...

Hello TextRoy, If you haven't already done so...try posting your questions in other forums on this site...you'll be more likely to get a response...I don't know anything about any of the stuff you ask about (or, believe me, I'd tell you whatever I knew...heh...probably more than you wanted to...

Hello...I enjoy this site tremendously...it's professional, easy going, and friendly. Welcome and jump right in. --William Bass

I really liked Rick's 1st, 2nd, and 7th logos of those which he did NOT pursue. They were very crisp and creative, I thought. I also liked nuke's van a lot...very clever and humorous...made it look like a contractor's truck...great! I probably would have voted for the Tikiboyz design...
