Searching for templates

CorelDRAW provides an easy way of finding templates.

Searching

You can search by the name, category, or reference information associated with a template. For example, if you type “contemporary” in the text field, the application automatically filters out all files that do not match, and you see only the files that have the word “contemporary” in the template name, category, or designer notes attached to the file.

By default, the application searches all locations that Instant Search (on Windows 7 and Windows Vista) or Windows Search (on Windows XP) are configured to index. You can also browse for templates in other locations, which Instant Search and Windows Search are not configured to index. For more information about configuring Instant Search on Windows 7 and Windows Vista, see the Windows Help. For more information about Windows Search, visit the Microsoft Web site.

You can cancel a search at any time.

Filtering search results

You can narrow the search results by using different criteria, such as document type (for example, brochure, flyer, newsletter, or postcard) and industry (for example, hospitality or retail). You can choose to view only templates that you have created or all templates (the templates included with CorelDRAW and provided by third-party designers, as well as templates that you have created).

Viewing templates and template information

You can increase the size of thumbnails to recognize a particular template easier and faster, and you can decrease thumbnail size to view more search results at a glance.When you select a template in the viewing area, additional information is displayed about the template’s category, style, pagination, and fold options, as well as any designer notes related to its intended use.

To search for templates Back to Top
1.
 
Click File New from template.
2.
 
In the New from template dialog box, type a word in the Search box, and press Enter.
Thumbnails that match the search term appear in the Templates pane.
3.
 
From the View by list box in the Filter pane, choose one of the following categories:
Type — sorts templates by document type, such as brochure, flyer, or newsletter
Industry — sorts templates by the industry that the template was designed for (for example, hospitality, retail, or services)
4.
 
In the category list, click a category.
To view all templates (that is, templates included with CorelDRAW, created by third-party designers, or created by you or others), click All. To view only templates that you have created, click My templates.

Custom templates that do not contain any category information are displayed under My templates.
If the CorelDRAW shell integration components are not installed (that is, if you have disabled the Windows Shell Extension option under Utilities in the Setup wizard during a custom installation), you can search for templates only by filename, not by name, keywords, or other reference information.
If you are using Windows XP, and if Windows Search is not installed, the application searches by filename only in the following folder:
 
X:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Corel\Content X6, where X is the drive where CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 is installed
If you are using Windows XP and install Windows Search after installing CorelDRAW, you must add the location of the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 installation to the indexed locations of Windows Search. For more information about modifying search options in Windows Search, see “Set search locations” in the Windows Search Help.
Windows Search is available as a free download from the Microsoft Download Center. For more information, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ desktopsearch/downloads/default.mspx.
You can also start a search by entering a search term in the Search box and clicking the Start search button.
