CorelDRAW X3 and older
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12
Does anyone know where macros should be stored in Corel 12? I’ve found two GMS folders in different locations; both folders contain a GlobalMacros.gms file as well as two other identical .gms files.

I do not have 12 on my system but I believe it was similar to X4, so your Macros would go here:
C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4\Draw\GMS

Hi Shelby - Thanks very much for your reply! Last evening, after I had asked the above question, I took a deep breath and dove back into the guts of the Corel program. I deleted one of the GMS folders, to see if the test macros I had put into the GlobalMacros.gms would also disappear. Lo and behold, they did. This address was almost exactly like the one you gave me: C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics 12\Draw\GMS. I then tried running the macros from the other location and they were all there and worked. This address was: C:\Users\Lee\App Data\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Corel\Corel Graphics 12\Draw\GMS\. I can’t for the life of me understand why they would bury them like that. Do you know if there is any way to get CorelDraw to look in the other directory for the .gms files?
