By default, the templates that come with CorelDRAW are stored in the CorelDRAW application folder (probably C:\Program Files\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite unless you chose a different folder during installation), in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4\Languages\EN\Draw\Templates. This is a good place to store your own templates. If for some reason CorelDRAW does not display your own templates when you choose File|New From Template, click the Browse button in the New From Template dialog, and then choose the path to this folder.

You’ll notice something funny going on right now: although you specified 1,000- point text and the page is set up to 1,000 points in height for the imaginary font grid, the guideline you dragged to the top of the capital A shows that this character is only 716 points. This discrepancy is occurs for two reasons:

• The gap from the top of the letter to the top of the page is for descenders of letters from the line above when you type with the font.
• The 1,000- point grid is only a reference that designers work against. You’ll find some font capital letters you’ll find are taller and some are shorter, as they were specified upon an artistic call by the font’s creator.
