Hi friends
i want to know what is macro and how to use it.
Macro is programming code. It powerfull for repeat task and action.
For example, in making ID Card. After design is fix, we must entry data in ID Card. Data can be text, photo, barcode, etc. We entry data one by one.
But, i make some macro (VBA) code to do that automatically.
First. i prepare data needed in table (excel, word, etc.), also prepare photo in specified folder.
When i enter number 1, and i run my code, data in first row of table entered to CorelDRAW. It like mail merge.
Photo automatically import to CorelDRAW, resize and powerclip to frame photo.
Barcode automatically creted and powerclip (or alignmet) to frame barcode.
For doing that task and action: Insert Text, Insert Photo and Insert Barcode, i just need less then 1 second.
It can do simultaneous, for entry data 1 to 100 (or 1000) . It just finish it self.
Interested?
The great thong about writing Macros for CorelDraw and photopaint, it is that it is same language than for macro's in Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, ... So if you are accustomed to write macros in these applications, it will be really easy to write macros in the CorelDraw Suite. You will just have to learn the object model of Corel Draw: Excel works with Document, Worksheets, Range, Cells, ... CorelDraw works with Document, Shapes, ShapeRanges, ...
Last remark, the functions available in CorelDraw are richer than those in Photopaint, who really lacks some basic features...
Hi,
There are more macros for CorelDRAW at macromonster.com than anywhere else in the world, and many are free too!

Hello,
I used google and I found your message in this forum.
I am very interested by your macro because it's exactly what I want to do with Corel (just with text file first or data in an excel table).
I'm know Visual Basic because I use it with Excel, but I' m a very new customer of Corel.
So if you can send me your code it would be great.
Thanks a lot
