As almost always have to work at a very high speed to deliver the work on time. So I created this topic, to reduce the time used to perform tasks in Corel Draw using shortcuts. I believe that this helps anyone who has not much experience with this fabulous program. I thank you for the contribution of colleagues. Thank you.

I'll start with simple tips for inexperienced users.
* - A good tip to center an object on the page is: Select any object (text, vector, jpg) then just hit the letter'' P'' on the keyboard. The object will automatiamente to the center of the page. See how simple it is. with just a click a button and you center an object in the center of the page. :-)

Centering an object on another object.
Select an object, press the Shift key and clic on another object. So you have two objects selected. After this is done, press the'' C'' (to align vertically) and after the key'' E'' (to align horizontally).

Hi valadares, i just want to add something i know.. the shortcut to cut a "letter" is Ctrl + K.. This will make "LETTER" to be L, E, T, T, E, R.. so this will help you better if you want to make a typical font for your own with just just one word, u can cut it first, than change it to "curve" before modify it.. or to add different colour in every word, like the "google" logo.. remind me if i'm wrong.. thanks..

Ocen. You are correct. Ctrl + K is a great option for a word or acronym, the letters become independent without deformalas cornering. Thank you for your contribution. I'll get more time to post more tips shortcuts advanced gradually.

Ctrl+K works great when you want to divide "tied" forms like different layers of a conture. Or to divide the shadow from an object.
Simply pressing Z brings out the zoom tool, which then works like on all other programs like PShop. You can do a zoom window.
Those who are familiar with some other application, like PS, can create new shortcuts and imitate those used there. Tools>Customization>Commands. You can assign CTRL+something for the pick tool, for example, instead of searching for Function buttons, which were always hard to reach for me.
