shadow is the printable page.

Roll-up Window
The Transform (Position) roll-up is shown on the left. Although they are not permanent part of
the interface (they can be if you want). You can use them to control many of CorelDraw’s
operations. Their beauty lies in the fact that they can remain active for playing quick “what-ifs”
without going through the longer process of invoking a standard menu dialog box.

Status Bar
Status bar shows the fill pattern, outline location, movement and absolute coordinates of selected
object.
