Hi. Several years ago I actively wrote macros for CorelDRAW. It was my hobby. Some of them were free, the other paid, and some were never published. Even free macros shipped with a closed code. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1YOU CAN ONLY WORK FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU LIKE.This is a curious rule and it took me a long time to learn because in fact at the beginning of my practice I felt the opposite. Professionalism required that you didn't particularly like the people that you worked for or at least maintained an arms length relationship to them, which meant that I never had lunch with a client or saw them socially.

In the Defringe dialog box choose a…
