In addition, users can scale the text after it has been placed on a path by 
simply selecting both the text and the path and dragging one of the handles.
Text and curve as separate objects (top left); choosing a path with Fit Text to Path tool 
(top middle); aligning the text while fitting it to the path (top right); text fitted to 
path (bottom left); interactive feedback while setting offset distance (bottom middle); 
and stretching the text and the curve by 200% horizontally (bottom right).
Enhanced!
Hyphenation: Hyphenation has been significantly improved 
with CorelDRAW X3. Hyphenation breaks words between lines when the 
whole word does not fit on one line. Users can choose to have CorelDRAW 
hyphenate automatically. Users can also specify where a word will break 
when it is at the end of a line by manually inserting optional hyphens or by 
creating custom definitions that will automatically insert optional 
hyphenation.
