Legacy text

To update legacy text

If a document contains text and was created in a previous version of CorelDRAW, such as CorelDRAW X5, you must update the legacy text before you can use new text features such as OpenType options and aligning text with the baseline grid. For more information, see OpenType features and Align text to the baseline grid.
