I have a list of names for graduation class. if I save from excell as PDF, the names come in corel but some are split, or some have invisible "things" attached.
what is the preferred method to get words from excell to coreldraw, step by step?
Thanks

I've done a very similar thing, and don't understand why you saved the excel file as a PDF.Here's what I did with a table of 5 columns and 10 rows:
Excel worksheet:
1: set the gridlines and row/column headings to not display by going to the Page Layout tab and making sure that the Grid and Heading display boxes are not checked.2: Select the cells you wish to have copied to CorelDraw, and copy them using CTRL-C or the Copy button.CorelDraw:
3: Open a new file
4: go to Paste>Special. a: To paste the data as an image, select Microsoft Excel Worksheet.
b: To paste the data as editable text, select Text. The data should be pasted correctly. It should be separated into pages as required. If it doesn't have the correct alignment, You can convert it to a table by right-clicking and choosing Convert Text to Table. If it does not fit the image, you can scale it up or resize the page (Layout>Page setup>Size)That works it for me with Excel 2010 and CorelDrawX4..
Jitest's method should work -- I've done it in the past in earlier versions of CorelDraw (before it had its own table support).
Two important things to be aware
I have tried that before. I get a worksheet object in a table. not editable at this point. what am I not doing?
Then the question becomes....How to change to Artistic Text. That's what I need
Assume you are ending up with paragraph texr.
Select all, right click and select covert to artistic text.
Now you will have one long combined set of text.
Select all and Break Apart (Ctrl K)
