making a coupon border

Does anyone know a good way to make coupon borders in Corel? If you've ever done this using the dashed line setting, you know the corners never come out right. There is a macro out there that sells for $10 but I think that's plain idiocy. 15 versions in, Corel has to have figured this out! The only way I've found to do it is to manually create white rectangles spaced out along a solid line. Not only is this time consuming, it's worse if you have many different coupon sizes.

  • The way that I would do this is to use the Pen tool and draw a rectangle. Once I have that (even if I have to edit a node or two), I change the outline thickness (from Hairline to, say, 2 points) and then change the line type (on the property bar) from solid line to one of the dashed lines. Fill = none, outline = black.

    Now, I can copy and paste this dashed-line rectangle any place I want, and resize it to fit what I want.
