Using Find and Replace for layout adjustments can be a bit tricky since it’s primarily for text changes, not formatting. However, you can leverage it to apply consistent styles by searching for specific patterns (like heading text) and then manually applying styles afterward. For more automated layout control, combining Find and Replace with styles and section breaks usually works better.

Tried adding paragraph borders in InDesign CC 2019 like you showed at 00:45, but the border doesn’t seem to wrap correctly around the text if there’s a line break inside the paragraph. Maybe it’s a limitation in this version? I ended up using a workaround by drawing a rectangle manually around the paragraph, but it’s not ideal for dynamic text.

@Rakesh Bhardwaj The Blend tool sounds great in theory, but every time I try to use it for smooth color transitions, it ends up creating weird banding or muddy colors instead of the smooth gradient I wanted. I’ve tried playing with the steps and distance settings, but it still feels unpredictable and more of a hassle than a help in the long run. Maybe it’s just me, but I gave up on relying on Blend for anything serious now.

@Rakesh Bhardwaj This is a known issue with CorelDRAW 2017 on some systems where the thumbnail cache for .CDR files doesn’t get rebuilt properly after installation. One workaround is to clear your thumbnail cache manually from Windows and then restart your machine. Also, check if your CorelDRAW installation has the latest updates, as Corel released patches addressing thumbnail display bugs. If that doesn’t work, try resetting CorelDRAW’s settings to default by holding down F8 during startup, which can sometimes restore proper thumbnail handling.

This is a known issue with build 22621.1 where the Start menu can become unresponsive. Try restarting the Windows Explorer process from Task Manager: press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, find “Windows Explorer” under Processes, right-click and select Restart. If that doesn’t work, running the System File Checker might help—open Command Prompt as admin and type `sfc /scannow`. Sometimes a clean boot can identify if a third-party app is interfering with the Start menu.

@Rakesh Bhardwaj Indesign में Open कमांड के साथ मुझे भी थोड़ी दिक्कत आ रही थी, लेकिन जब मैंने Preferences में जाकर File Handling सेटिंग्स चेक की और “Open Documents as Tabs” को इनेबल किया, तो फाइल खुले बिना नया टैब बनना बंद हो गया। इसके बाद फाइल सही से खुलने लगी। आप भी इस सेटिंग को देखिए, हो सकता है आपकी समस्या भी सॉल्व हो जाए।

कोरल ड्रा में brochure बनाने की कोशिश की, लेकिन page layout करते वक्त text और images एकदम से सही align नहीं हो रहे थे। खासतौर पर जब multiple pages का प्रोजेक्ट था तो हर page पर अलग-अलग सेटिंग्स चेंज करनी पड़ीं, जो बहुत टाइम-consuming था। मुझे लगा था कि ये software इस काम के लिए ज्यादा आसान होगा, लेकिन ऐसा नहीं लगा।

@Rakesh Bhardwaj I think the duplicate command in CorelDraw might be like pressing Ctrl + D after selecting an object, which quickly creates a copy and pastes it in the same spot. Maybe it’s different from just copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) because duplicate keeps the position? Not fully sure if that’s how it works exactly, but it seems like a quicker way to make copies without moving them around manually.

I think tables in InDesign work kind of like Excel, but inside your document. Maybe when they talk about rows and columns, you just have to highlight the area and choose “Insert Table” or something similar. Adjusting rows and columns could be done by dragging the edges? Not 100% sure though, I’m also learning.

Tried the method for replacing paragraph styles using Find/Change, and it worked well after I made sure to check the “Find Format” and “Change Format” options specifically for paragraph styles. Just be careful to clear any other format fields or it might not catch all instances. However, I found that changing color via Find/Change is a bit trickier—you need to define the exact swatch in the “Find Format” section, or it won’t find the text with that color correctly.

Just to clarify, when using Find/Change to replace paragraph styles in InDesign, you need to make sure that in the “Find Format” section you select the paragraph style you want to find, and in the “Change Format” section, select the new paragraph style you want to apply. The Find/Change dialog won’t let you replace color directly unless you’re searching for text with a specific character style or fill applied. For color replacements, it’s often easier to use the Swatches panel or use the “Find/Change” with character styles that contain the color fill you want to change.

I think the Align and Distribute commands might work differently depending on the version of CorelDRAW you have. Maybe you need to select all the objects first, then use the commands from the Arrange menu? Also, could the cube need to be grouped before alignment? I’m not completely sure but that might help.

@Rakesh Bhardwaj Actually, when using the Polygon tool in CorelDraw, you can adjust the number of sides by simply clicking on the shape and then changing the value in the property bar rather than redrawing it. Also, the Spiral tool lets you change the tightness and revolutions interactively by dragging the handles, which isn’t always obvious from just watching a video. Keep that in mind while practicing!
