I have coreldraw 11 and it came with photopain 11 and I need some help with Lables.
If you go on the Net or to a store you can get a lot of Lables by say Avery.
And then you need a program to open the Templeatte in so you can print on the Lables and they now how to Aline on the page.
And the same thing goes for CD VDV Lables.
Is there certain Lables I can get and have Coreldraw or photopaint open a Templeate for it?????
I don't have version 11, but I think the process is the same. In CorelDraw, go to Tools>Options. Look under Document>Labels, select Labels and you'll see a large drop down list where you can choose the label brand, size, etc. Check the Help for more info.

Patti is right -- I do have CorelDRAW 11 and that is exactly how to do it.
Good job, Patti!!
I wen to Tools Options and in here is Lables.
In here there is even Envalopes you can print on.
Now one moe thing say I want a diferant Adress to printout on every Envalope that comes out.
Is there a way to put all my Adresses in Coreldraw and have then print a diferant adress out on every Envalope.
O do I have to make every Envalope one at a time????????
Yes, you can use print a different address on each label or envelope. Use Print Merge and enter the data in Corel itself. I personally use Microsoft Excel to enter the data, and then create a CSV file with the data I want.
Jeff Harrison has a good tutorial on his Macro Monster website about using Excel for print merge. The basics will be the same but you will use Corel and the input method, He uses X3 in the tutorial but the basics are much the same for Ver 11. There should be information in the Help File.
Jeff's Tutorial
so I can ad all my adress to Coreldraw and have it print it out on every Envalope.
And I can create like a Data Bass of all my addresses and it will keep it and I can ad more as I go on like next week and so on??
Yes, it is a type of database. You can save the file and information using CorelDRAW Print Merge if you save it to start with. When you use it again you load instead of create. I suggest you create a small data base using the feature. Save it as a txt or rtf file. Close Corel. Reopen and start again like you were doing a new Print Merge, except you will load your saved database. You can then alter, delete and or add data.
If you have a spread sheet program, I suggest you use it instead. I use Microsoft Excel. Sometimes I use a real database manage, Microsoft Access, but a spread sheet app is easier to work with and quicker to set up. In both you have to save the information as a CSV (comma separated value) file to use in Draw's Print Merge.
I will say that I have never used the Envelope in the labels layout. I see no reason not to. I never noticed it.

OK I did go into Print Marge then Create something LOL
In the screen that you start with it asks for a Name and you can keep ading Diferant Names.
Is this the Name of the Dada Bass or what is it?
The left window says Name.
The right side says feilds of marge.
and a checkbox that says incramentale field Dada.
OK I am so soory I went in the help files and I got more confuesed.
After I go to file print marge create print marge field.
I need some help making a Data Bass of all my adresses.
The first screen has two sideds I make a name and click AD.
Is this the name I give to my Dada Bass?????????????
And the next screen says edit Fields or something like this.
But I don't see any Places like Adress City State things like this.
A database is a set of records that contains information in a group of fields. (My wording)
The creator of the database must establish the fields and their name. In this case you are the creator. The names can be anything you wish, but it is wise to at least name the fields so that one can understand what each contains. For instance, fname for First Name. Of course you could just as easily use the latter.
CorelDRAW's merger wizard is where you establish the field names and the record data. The screen you are referring to is where you enter the name the fields. (ex. Name, address, city)
I am working in X3, but as I remember it should look very similar to Version 11.
Once you have all your fields named, you enter the data on the next page. The Print Merge Wizard in not fancy but it is effective in doing what you want.
You name your database when you save it as a file. You will have 3 choice of file types. It is your preference as to which to use.
