Customer Reviews & Comments
I had used the Corel DRAW! 5 package for three years before buying this book (and it's companion Quick-Reference guide) and I discovered techniques and functions which I had never used before. I also learned of short-cuts for many of the tools I had already been using in both DRAW and PhotoPaint. I wish that this book had a little more detail on some of the other programs contained in this package (such as Ventura Publisher, and Trace), but this easily understood, humorous instruction book is more than worth it's price for the information on the two main programs (draw and paint) alone
