I am using version 2 of CorelDraw and I am having a problem changing the shape of an image. I scanned in my company's logo, which is circular, but it came in with a square border. I converted the file and imported it into Corel, where I saved it as a .CDR file. I can now do whatever manipulations I want to the image, but I just cannot get rid of that border. When I try to crop it, the whole image gets smaller, but stays square. In looking at the manual, it seems like what I want to do is edit the envelope, but when I select the image and get the nodes, the Edit Envelope selection is greyed out. Do you have any suggestions?

Jaimie, Ensure that the object you wish to manipulate is not part of a group. If you select the shape tool and ths object turns into a blue dotted line, then it is part of a group. Ungroup it (if needed) and then see if the circle and square are one object. If they move together when one or the other is selected they are combined. Break them apart and *then* delete the square. There is no cropping function in DRAW for vector graphics. Therefore, what you are probably doing is resizing the object(s) selected. Paul
