Introduction - Overview
Overview

PaperTemplates are software you purchase and install as an "add-on" to your CorelDRAW! software application.  Therefore, you should be familiar with and feel comfortable working in CorelDRAW! before installing and using your PaperTemplates software.  PaperTemplates for CorelDRAW! display placeholder text which has been positioned on each PaperTemplate to identify the area where text may be placed.  Some of these PaperTemplates even include on-screen graphic representations of the printed and die-cut areas that correspond to our most popular PaperDirect papers.

This package includes PaperTemplates for the following PaperDirect Papers:

-	Brochures

-	Business Cards

-	Certificates

-	Compliment Slips

-	Desktop Design Papers

-	Door Hangers

-	Laser Labels

-	Newsletters

-	NoteCards

-	Post Cards

-	Sun Visors

-	Table Tents


Minimum System Requirements

The following are the minimum system requirements for use with CorelDRAW! PaperTemplates:

-	IBM personal computer or IBM-compatible.

-	Microsoft Windows 3.1.

-	Mouse or other pointing device.

-	CorelDRAW! version 3.0 B-A or 4.0.

NOTE:  PaperTemplates do not work with version 5.0 of CorelDRAW!.

Using PaperTemplates - Overview
Overview

When using PaperTemplates, you won't need to be concerned with fitting text or graphics within the borders of PaperDirect's paper because it's already been done for you through the use of placeholder text.  When you use a PaperTemplate, you simply replace the placeholder text with your own.  Some of the PaperTemplates even include an on-screen graphic representation of many of our most popular papers.  The resulting document can then be modified, saved, or printed directly on PaperDirect paper.  Refer to the Getting Started topic for information on opening a PaperTemplate.


Getting Started

You can now access a PaperTemplate in one of three ways: by paper design, by item number (which corresponds to the number in your PaperCatalogue), or by paper category.  After selecting a PaperTemplate, CorelDRAW! is started for you automatically (or maximized if you have it minimized on your desktop) and the PaperTemplate layout is performed.  Simply replace the placeholder text with your own information.  Then save and print your document just as you would any CorelDRAW! document.

Follow the instructions listed below to begin using a PaperTemplate:

1.	Install your PaperTemplates files.

2.	At the Windows Program Manager, double-click on the PaperDirect Program Group Icon, then click on the PaperTemplates Icon.

3.	The PaperTemplates Selection dialogue box will display showing you three different ways to access a PaperTemplate:

Select PaperTemplates by Paper Design
Click this button to select your PaperTemplate by the type of paper design.  For example, if you always use PaperDirect's Acropolis papers, this choice allows you to access each of the PaperTemplates for only that product line including templates for NoteCards, Post Cards, PaperFrames, etc.

Select PaperTemplates by Item #
Click this button if you want to select your PaperTemplate by its corresponding item number (which is found in your PaperDirect PaperCatalogue), followed by the letter U.  For example, to use the PaperTemplate for PaperDirect's Influential business card, type BC0505U in the text input line when prompted.

Select PaperTemplates by Paper Category
Click this button to select your PaperTemplate by paper category (e.g., brochures or post cards).  For example, if you want to use a PaperTemplate for a NoteCard, this choice allows you to view Templates for NoteCards only.

Note:  To access another PaperTemplate when you're finished working with the first one, minimize CorelDRAW! and follow steps 2 and 3 above.

For more information and instructions on the use of a particular type of PaperTemplate, refer to the corresponding topic in the Special Instructions and Guidelines section of this manual.

Note:  To access another PaperTemplate when you're finished working with the first one, minimize CorelDRAW! and follow steps 2 and 3 in the Getting Started topic.


Placing Text

Text has been placed on each template as a placeholder - to show where text may be brought into the Template.  As with all CorelDRAW! documents, these text blocks may be rearranged or repositioned freely.

Most of the text that has been placed on the PaperTemplates is paragraph text, while some of the titles of brochures utilize artistic text.  You can enter text directly into any text block on a PaperTemplate.  First, use the Text Tool to highlight the text to be replaced, then type in the new text.  Text entered in this way will replace existing text, and will take on the appearance of the text being replaced.

You may also bring in a block of text (story) that has been created in a word processor and saved as a .TXT file to replace an existing block of text in a PaperTemplate.  Follow the steps below:

1.	To replace an existing text block, click inside the text block.

2.	Pull down the Edit menu and choose Edit Text.

3.	Choose Import.

4.	Locate the file you want to bring into CorelDRAW! and click on it.  CorelDRAW! will bring your text in, replacing the existing text block on the template.

Because CorelDRAW! version 3.0 supports only one page per document, all two-sided PaperTemplates (e.g., brochures) require you to access one PaperTemplate for the first side (or page 1) and another for the other side (page 2).

If you are selecting your PaperTemplate by item number, for example, all two-sided brochures are designated with the item number (followed by the letter u) for page 1 (e.g., BMT502u) and the item number followed by the letters bu for page 2 (e.g., BMT502bu).  These naming conventions also apply to CorelDRAW! version 4.0 even though it supports multiple pages in a publication.


Layers

Some of the PaperTemplates include on-screen representations of any graphic elements, die-cut guides, or significant perforations that appear on a particular PaperDirect paper; these items have been placed on the Design Layer of the PaperTemplate which is locked, and is set not to print.  This arrangement allows you to place text and clip art on each piece very precisely in a short period of time.  Since all graphic elements representing printed designs are on the Design Layer, it also means that you will not be able to accidentally move them when positioning text and clip art on the PaperTemplate.

On many of the PaperTemplates, the Guides Layer has also been locked.  Locked Guides were set to prevent accidental movement which might result in text being misplaced on the design.

Text has been placed on Layer 1 and can easily be edited by selecting the text block, choosing Edit from the menu, and selecting Edit Text.


Special Instructions and Guidelines - Overview
Overview

To guide you on the use of the various products offered by PaperDirect, the following sections of this On-Line Manual describe, in more detail, each type of PaperTemplate available.  Each section is divided by category and is alphabetized for easier reference (e.g., Brochures, Business Cards).

After you have entered text in your Template, refer to the Printing section for more information about printing a specific type of PaperTemplate (e.g., Printing Two-Sided Documents).


Brochures

PaperDirect Brochure products can be used for many things.  Use them for restaurant menus, real estate listings, inventory listings, directory of services or members, advertisements, promotional mailings, front-desk displays, corporate or community-related event programs, or trade show distributions.

PaperDirect brochures consist of 3-Panel Standard Brochures - some of which include either a Reply Card or Card Cuts (a die-cut area where you can insert your business card) and Step-Up Brochures with Brochure Jackets.

Note: Because CorelDRAW! version 3.0 supports only one page per document, all two-sided PaperTemplates (e.g., brochures) require you to access one PaperTemplate for the first side (or page 1) and another for the other side (page 2).

If you are selecting your brochure PaperTemplate by item number, for example, all two-sided brochures are designated with the item number followed by the letter u for page 1 (e.g., BMT502u) and the item number followed by the letters bu for page 2 (e.g., BMT502bu).  These naming conventions also apply to CorelDRAW! version 4.0 even though it supports multiple pages in a publication.

Step-Up Brochures and Brochure Jackets


Folding a 3-Panel Brochure

Brochures have two sides and each side of the brochure is a separate page in the PaperTemplates.  The outside of the brochure (page 1) includes the Inside Flap, Back Cover, and Front Cover.  When printed, this side of the brochure becomes page 1.  The inside of the brochure (the reverse side of the paper which is the PaperTemplate item number followed by the letter b) includes three separate panels where columns of information can be entered; they are labelled Inside Column 1, Inside Column 2, and Inside Column 3.  When printed on the back of page 1, this page becomes the inside of the brochure.    Refer to the illustrations of the sample brochure below:

      Inside             Back              Front
       Flap              Cover             Cover

      Outside (Page 1) of the brochure

     Inside            Inside          Inside
      Col 1             Col 2           Col 3

     Inside (Page 2) of the brochure

To help you determine which side of the brochure is the outside and which is the inside, find the sample brochure enclosed with your PaperDirect brochure package.  One side of the brochure is marked with the headings, Inside Flap, Back Cover, and Front Cover.  This is the outside of the brochure (or page 1).  Because you are now looking at a flat piece of paper, it may be somewhat difficult to understand why we're calling one side of the brochure the inside and the other, the outside.  To help translate this for you, let's fold the sample brochure:

-	Hold the brochure so that the words, Inside Column 3, are facing you and are on the right.

-	With your right hand, fold the Inside Column 3 panel in (and over Inside Column 2) so that the Inside Flap panel is now facing you.

-	Now fold the Front Cover toward the right and over the Inside Flap.  You should now be looking at the Front Cover of the brochure only.

You will know you have folded the brochure correctly if you take the Inside Flap and fold it over the Front Cover; it's smaller in width and will not completely cover the Front Cover of the brochure.


Placing Text in 3-Panel Brochures

The following paragraphs briefly describe what type of text you will enter and its location in each panel of the brochure:

Inside Flap - This section of the brochure sometimes has a rotary card at the bottom of the panel or a return reply card. If there is a rotary card, you can fill in the rotary card section of the panel after entering text for the upper portion of the panel.

Back Cover - You can enter any promotional text you may need at the top of this section.  Your company name and address are usually placed in the lower portion of this panel.

Front Cover - Usually contains the brochure title or company name and the title information such as a subtitle or slogan.  Depending upon the design of the brochure, you may be able to enter your company address here also.

Inside Column (1-3) - Column 1 is usually a column of text which can be continued onto Columns 2 and 3.  Or, Column 3 will sometimes contain a rotary card or the back of the return reply card (the opposite side of which is located on the Inside Flap for a 3-Panel Brochure).

Note:  If you choose not to place your text in column format, be sure not to enter text where the folds or scores of the brochure are located because the toner can flake off when the paper is folded.

Because CorelDRAW! version 3.0 supports only one page per publication, all two-sided brochure PaperTemplates require you to access one PaperTemplate for the outside (or page 1) and another for the inside (page 2) of the brochure.  If you are selecting your brochure PaperTemplate by item number, for example, all two-sided brochures are designated with the item number followed by the letter u for page 1 (e.g., BMT502u) and the item number followed by the letters bu for page 2 (e.g., BMT502bu).  These naming conventions also apply to CorelDRAW! version 4.0 even though it supports more than a one-page publication.


Step-Up Brochures and Brochure Jackets

The Step-Up Brochures and Brochure Jackets let you create interactive, highly professional brochures with business cards in seconds.  Use one PaperTemplate to insert text and laser print your brochure inserts and business card onto an A4 sheet of paper, then separate the four perforated pieces.  Use a second PaperTemplate to customise your Brochure Jacket, and insert the Step-Up Inserts into the Brochure Jacket to form an elegant "waterfall" effect.

Step-Up Insert PaperTemplate

Open the Step-Up Insert PaperTemplate and replace the existing text with your own.  The PaperTemplate layout matches the Step-Up Insert paper layout (the business card is located in the upper left corner of the sheet).

Step-Up Brochure Jacket PaperTemplate

Use the Step-Up Brochure Jacket PaperTemplate and replace the existing text with your own.  Print your Brochure Jacket, then follow the instructions in the Layout Guide (which is included in the box of paper) to properly assemble the Jacket so the Step-Up Inserts can be included in the Jacket.


Business Cards

Each sheet of paper contains ten cards with perforations surrounding each one for easy detachment.  These cards can also be used as name tags, luggage tags, gift tags, membership cards, customer discount cards, or as admittance tickets.

Note:  Because of the curved paper path common to most ink jet printers, business cards are not recommended for use in these printers. The cards can become detached from the sheet and may jam in the printer.

Placing Text in a Business Card


Placing Text in a Business Card

When using a PaperTemplate designed for a PaperDirect business card, you will need to type the company name where the card heading text is located.  The company name is usually several point sizes larger than the rest of the text and is usually bold faced.  Next, you will need to type the name and title of the person to whom the card belongs; sometimes this text will be italicized.  Finally, you'll need to type the business address, phone number, and the fax number.

When a Laser Business Card PaperTemplate displays, you will notice that each card has text in it.  Edit the text in the first card and then  copy the text from that card to all the remaining cards using the standard copy/paste procedure.  Now instead of typing the same text over and over, you can copy it with ease.  Of course, you can still create ten different cards on one sheet of paper if you so desire (or four if you are using the Folded Business Cards).


Certificates

The PaperDirect Certificate Collection contains everything you need to create distinctive, professional looking awards: Designer Plaque Kits and Frames, gold-foiled Certificate Jackets, Mini Awards and Gift Certificates, Embossed Seals, Ribbons, and more. Choosing just the right touch will make all your certificate presentations look personal and elegant.  Look in your PaperDirect PaperCatalogue for all certificates and accessories.

When using a PaperTemplate for our Border, MiniAward, Gift Certificate, or Theme Certificates, just highlight the existing text and replace it with your own.


Compliment Slips

These slips are perfect for short messsages or enclosing with a parcel package.  When using this PaperTemplate, just highlight the existing text and replace with your own.  Because there are three slips per A4 sheet of paper, be sure to print your message first, then separate each slip.


Desktop Design Papers

These papers now include the following subcategories of Desktop Design Papers: Letterhead, Messages, PaperFrames, and Themes.  Simply replace the placeholder text in each type of Desktop Design Paper with your own information.


Door Hangers

Each of these 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of paper contains two Door Hangers.  Replace the existing text with your own, print, and then separate each one from the sheet of paper.


Laser Labels

These Laser Labels can be used for mailings, organizing and archiving materials or categorizing file folders, video tapes, audio cassettes, and computer diskettes.  Highlight and replace the existing text with your own.

Video Label (including spine and face)

If you are selecting your PaperTemplates by item number, use the LLV100F PaperTemplate to create the labels for the face of the video cassette.  And to create the labels for the spine of the video cassette, use the LLV100S PaperTemplate.


Newsletters

These A3 sized Newsletter papers allow you to easily create and layout newsletters including a masthead and side bars, and inserting graphics where desired.

Note:  To use PaperDirect's Newsletter paper properly, your laser printer must be able to accommodate paper that is 420 mm wide.

This paper is double-sided and is printed in landscape format so that Side 1 of the paper consists of page 1 which contains the masthead and page 4 which is the last page of the newsletter.  Side 2 of the paper is pages 2 and 3 of your newsletter.  Be sure when printing that you insert side 1 first, and then insert side 2.


NoteCards

Laser NoteCards can be used as display cards, discount cards, greeting cards, invitations, thank you notes, announcements, name cards, or specialty item menus.  These two-page PaperTemplates are currently set up to display the inside information in an invitation format (i.e., date, location, place, time and RSVP).


Post Cards

Use the Jumbo or Laser post cards for return reply cards, display cards, just moved announcements, name tags, or friendly reminders.

Note:  Laser Post Cards contain four cards per sheet of paper while the Jumbo Post Cards contain only two cards per sheet.

Placing Text in Laser Post Cards and Jumbo Post Cards

These post cards now allow you to type text on both sides of the card.  Enter text on the front of the card first (page 1), and then the reverse side (page 2).  Because CorelDRAW! version 3.0 supports only one page per publication, you will need to access one PaperTemplate for the first side (or page 1) and another for the reverse side (page 2).

For example, if you are selecting your PaperTemplate by item number, all two-sided Post Cards are designated with the item number followed by the letter u for page 1 (e.g., PC0507u) and the item number followed by the letters bu for page 2 (e.g., PC0507bu).  These naming conventions also apply to CorelDRAW! version 4.0 even though it supports a multiple-page publication.


Sun Visors

These fun-to-wear papers allow you to individually customise each visor and easily print it.  Use them at corporate events, trade shows, meetings, restaurants, grand openings, or to add a splash to your next party.  When using this PaperTemplate, highlight the existing text and replace it with your own, then print the visor.  Remove the visor from the 8½" x 11" sheet of paper and attach the included elastic band to your Sun Visor.


Table Tents

Each 8½" x 11" sheet paper contains two Table Tents.  After replacing the existing with your own text, print the Table Tents, separate them from each other, fold in half, and insert the tab to make each Tent stand upright.  What an easy way to make any event or table setting look great.


Printing - Overview
Overview

Before printing your document on PaperDirect paper, you may want to print your document on a plain sheet of paper to proof your work before actually using your PaperDirect paper.

Hint: If you are planning to print multiple copies of a particular PaperTemplate, always print a single test page on PaperDirect paper before printing multiple copies.

When you are ready to print, insert your PaperDirect paper into the printer, follow any printing instructions that display on the PaperTemplates screen, and then print as you would normally.


Printing Two-Sided Documents

Some PaperDirect papers (the brochures, for example) need to be printed on both sides of the sheet.  You will have to print one side of your document first, then turn the paper over and print the other side.

Remember, because CorelDRAW! 3.0 only supports one page per publication, printing of two-sided publications requires you to access two separate PaperTemplates and to insert the sheet of paper into the printer two times.  (Brochures, Post Cards and NoteCards are examples of two-sided publications - refer to the individual category in the Special Instructions and Guidelines section of this On-Line Manual for more information.)

To print double-sided publications, you first need to access the PaperTemplate that corresponds to the front side of a Brochure, Post Card, or NoteCard.  Enter the desired text and/or graphics, and print that publication.  Next you need to access the PaperTemplate that corresponds to the inside (or side 2) of the publication, enter the desired text, and print on the opposite side of the sheet paper you just printed on.


Suggestions on Using Your Laser Printer

-	Know your printer.  To avoid wasting paper when you're printing on PaperDirect paper, know which way to feed paper through the printer and on which side it prints first.  An easy way to determine which side of the paper it prints on first is to draw an arrow on a test sheet of paper.  Insert the paper into the printer with the arrow facing up and the tip of the arrow pointing towards the printer.  Send a test document to print and see which side has the printed text on it.

-	Double check the heaviest weight of paper your printer can handle (this information is usually found in your printer manual).  Although most laser printers can usually handle paper up to 38 lbs., some printers have restrictions on paper handling (for example, most printers require heavier-weight paper to be fed through the manual feed mechanism); always confirm your printer's manufacturer's recommendations.

-	Always feed heavier weight paper through your printer's manual feed mechanism to avoid paper jams.

-	Be sure to set your toner to the lowest density possible to avoid smearing the toner on the page.  This is particularly true when you need to feed the same sheet of paper through the printer more than once.  On the first pass through the printer, toner that flakes off can get on the printer's rollers and when the paper is fed through the printer a second time, it's transferred to the other side of the page.

-	Be careful not to place large, dark areas of toner (e.g., a graphic) on the scores (or folds) of a brochure or note card; toner that has been applied to these areas can flake off when the paper is folded.

-	If your printer has an adjustable paper feed for different size paper and you are able to move both sides of the adjuster (similar to an HP LaserJet III), your printer is a center-feed printer.  If you can only move one side of the adjustable paper feed (similar to an HP LaserJet 4), or if you paper is inserted on the left side of a stationary paper feeder (similar to an HP LaserJet 4P), then you have a left-feed printer.  You will need to know which type of printer you are using if you want to print a top-fold or side-fold Laser NoteCard.

-	Most laser printers have a back door with a pull-out paper tray.  Opening this door results in paper travelling through the printer in a nearly straight path, reducing paper curl.


Most Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do when I try to place guides within a document and the guides disappear and will not stay?

On many of the templates, the guides have been locked.  You will need to unlock the guides by choosing Arrange from the menu, selecting Layers Roll-Up, double-clicking Guides and unchecking Locked.

How do I open another PaperTemplate after I'm finished working with the current one?

To access another PaperTemplate when you're finished working with the first one, minimize CorelDRAW! and follow steps 2 and 3 in the Getting Started section of this On-Line Manual.

An error message displays telling me that the PaperTemplate I've selected is not installed.  How do I install the PaperTemplate I want to use?

Insert the PaperTemplates Disk 1 into your A drive (or B drive).  Type A:SETUP and click OK.  When the list of PaperTemplates displays, select the one you want to install and click OK.  Follow all installation prompts as they display.  When the installation procedure has finished, restart your PaperTemplates and select the PaperTemplate file you just installed.

What should I do when printing the second page of a double-sided document and the toner smears on the first side?

The toner density level on your printer should be set to the lowest possible setting.  Excess toner will flake off and smear if it is too dense.  Always print one sample double-sided document to examine the quality of print before running multiple copies.
