Operation Manual

Corel DESIGNER basics | 63
If the drawing you are opening is from an earlier version of Corel DESIGNER and contains text in a language different from the language
of your operating system, you can choose code page settings to ensure that text is properly converted according to the Unicode Standard.
Code page settings help you correctly display text such as keywords, file names, and text entries outside the drawing window — for
example, in the Object manager and Object data manager dockers. To display text correctly in the drawing window, you must use
encoding settings. For more information, see “Displaying text correctly in any language” on page 428.
If the drawing you are opening contains an embedded International Color Consortium (ICC) profile, the embedded color profile remains the
document’s color profile. For more information, see “Understanding color management” on page 323.
You can search for drawings by different criteria, such as filename, title, subject, author, keyword, comment, text within the file, and other
properties attached to the file. For more information about searching for files, see the Windows Help. For more information about browsing
and searching for content, see “Browsing and searching for content ” on page 86.
You can also display previous versions of a drawing.
