need to call another macro

Current subscription version (2025) allows you to save previous version w/o a macro.

I am not sure I correctly understand what you mean...

So, saying that you work in Corel 2022 and you firstly need to save the active workbook in X6 version and secondly do whatever related to conversion to curve, would it be a correct understanding? If so, it is simple to save in a previous version...

Then, „convert to curve” is a foggy request. I mean, what do you want converting to curve? You cannot convert to curve a document...

You need to specify. Something as „active shape”, all shapes from the active layer, all shapes from the active page, shapes being of a specific type (cdrRectangle, for instance) etc.. So, what do you want converting to curve?

Then, why are you talking about „using 2 macros”? Is this a real situation requirement, or you only want understanding how you can call a different function? Even so, would the second function being in the same workbook or in a different one? Would it be called with arguments? Should it return something? If not, why are you talking about a function and not a Sub?

Anyhow, this would be a code sample showing how to save As from 2022 in X6:

Sub Save_AS_Lower_version()
    Dim SOpts As StructSaveAsOptions
    Set SOpts = CreateStructSaveAsOptions
    With SOpts
        .EmbedVBAProject = False 'True
        .Filter = cdrCDR
        .IncludeCMXData = False
        .Range = cdrAllPages 'cdrCurrentPage
        .EmbedICCProfile = True
        .Version = cdrVersion16
        .KeepAppearance = True
    End With
    ActiveDocument.SaveAs "C:\YourFolderName\Saved as X6.cdr", SOpts
    'it overwrites existing, if the case...
End Sub

For converting as curves:

Sub testConvertToCurves()
  Dim sh As Shape, shR As Shape, actL As ShapeRange
  'Set sh = ActiveShape: sh.ConvertToCurves 'it works
  'Set shR = ActiveSelection: shR.ConvertToCurves   'it works
  'ActiveSelection.ConvertToCurves 'also works
  Set actL = ActiveLayer.Shapes.All: actL.ConvertToCurves 'for all active layer shapes
End Sub

Related to calling a Sub from another GSM, place the next testing code in the GMS file where the first macro is (or place the single code line in the first macro. It will call a macro from `GlobalMacros`:

1

3

Sub callMacroFromGlobalMacros()
  Application.GMSManager.RunMacro "GlobalMacros", "Tests.MacroToBeCalled"
End Sub

And the macro to be called (from GlobalMacros):

Sub MacroToBeCalled()
  MsgBox "I was called from another document/GMS...", vbCritical, "Calling from another document/GMS"
  'ActiveSelection.ConvertToCurves
End Sub
