Click Window  Dockers View manager.
2 Click a view in the View manager docker.

To view all pages in a multipage document
•
Click View Page sorter view.
To return to the default page view, click the Page sorter view button on the property bar.
To view facing pages
1
Click Layout Page setup.
2 In the Document list of categories, click Layout.
3 Enable the Facing pages check box.
4 Choose one of the following settings from the Start on list box:
• Left side — starts the document on a left-hand page
• Right side — starts the document on a right-hand page
You cannot view facing pages if the document uses a Tent Card or Top-fold Card layout style, or if it contains multiple page
orientations. The Leftside option is available only for the Full Page and Book layout styles.
When you enable the Facing pages check box, the content on the facing pages is merged on one page. The layer structure for
the merged page is based on the left-hand page. The layers from the right-hand page are inserted above the layers on the left-
hand page. This rule also applies if you reorder the pages. If you disable the Facing pages check box, the layers and content are
redistributed across separate pages. Objects that cross both pages are assigned to a page according to where the center of the object
is found.
It is recommended that you avoid switching back and forth between individual pages and facing pages within the same document.
Saving drawings
By default, drawings are saved to the CorelDRAW file format (CDR) and are compatible with the latest version of the application. You can
also save a drawing that is compatible with an earlier version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and specify save options. Such options are useful
when the file contains new text, fill, outline, and transparency features that are not supported in earlier versions.
You can save a drawing to other vector file formats as well. If you want to use a drawing in another application, you must save it to a file
format that is supported by that application. For information about saving files to other formats, see “Exporting files” on page 650.
When saving a drawing, you can embed the used fonts to facilitate file sharing. By default, CorelDRAW embeds all used fonts, with the
exception of Asian fonts and fonts that do not have embedding permissions. For more information, see “Embedding fonts” on page 442.
When you save a drawing, CorelDRAW lets you add reference information so that you can easily find and organize drawings later on. You
can attach tags (also known as properties) such as title, subject, and rating.
