Font Playground: In both CorelDRAW X7 and 

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X7, the new Font Playground docker 
introduces an easier way to browse, experiment with, 
and choose the perfect font. You can easily add sample 
text to view its appearance in different fonts, and a 
handy Zoom slider lets you quickly adjust the size of 
sample text. With a single click, you can also choose 
whether the sample text appears as a single line, 
multiple lines, or a cascading series of increased sizes.

The Font Playground also provides access to advanced 
features within OpenType fonts. If a text sample uses an 
OpenType font, and the selected characters have 
OpenType alternates, simply select the text to display the 
Interactive OpenType arrow and then choose which 
features to apply.

Object Properties docker: With CorelDRAW X7, 

the redesigned Object Properties docker has a new tab 
option that can help you gain efficiency by reducing 
congestion. The Scroll/Tab mode button sets the docker to 
present only one group of formatting controls at a time, 
making it easier to focus on the task at hand.
