Opening the template
CorelDRAW lets you start a new drawing from a template. A template is a predefined set of information. A
template can set the page size, orientation, ruler position, and grid and guideline information.
Here, you’ll open a CD-cover template designed specially for this project. The template has two pages. Page 1 is
for the front cover, and Page 2 is for the back cover. (Note that this template contains no grid or guideline
information.)
