Carl,
Perfect...
Just finished setting it up on the tool bar and works great!
I can see where this will be handy for setting up other macros
to run with one click operation.
Thanks
Mike

You probably should export your Workspace so you have a backup copy in case you ever have to use the dreaded F8 on start-up. Right-click on the toolbox toolbar. Follow Customize> Workspace, click on Export Workspace, choose all of the checkboxes (or just toolbars) and then SAVE. If you have CorelDraw running on several computers, this is a great way to synchronize your workspaces so they all look the same.
If you move a workspace to a new computer, make sure you manually copy the GMS files for any macros that you have added. I don't know for sure, but I don't think they are included when you export your workspace.

Carl,
That's exactly what I will be doing this weekend, setting up another clone pc to our pc's here in the shop. My wife's aunt from Ohio is going to start entering data onto my templates which I will be sending her via email orders, so the more I can automate the process the better for everyone involved.
I really do appreciate ALL the help and info you have given and I hope
someday I can return the favor.
Thanks
Mike

Well Carl, I'm going to pick you brain again on another feature of Corel which may or may not be available. I have a customer who needs some text engraved, but not in English, but Russian. I did find a online text translator which I can enter the English text and it will convert it over to Russian, after which time I then copy/paste to corel. Just thought maybe it was possible todo this in corel alone. This is the first time I have ever had anyone ask for this tobe done so its a new one one me..
Thanks
Mike

Why not ask your customer to send you the copy without the line numbers?

Are you asking if the translation can be done in CorelDraw? Not that I know of and I really wouldn't recommend that you do it that way even it was possible. I would strongly suggest that you get the Russian text in the correct format, directly from your customer,. Language translation can be a very inexact 'science'.

Most characters require key combinations.
They gave me several types of Laotion fonts.
He brings in a doc file with his wording.
I open it and then can copy and paste it into coreldraw or Xenetech for making the layout fit the product.
