How about changing the size of the font characters before fiting to path?

I made a macro in Corel. It works in 12 and X3, it's a GMS file that gets copied to C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 13\Draw\GMS

or close to it, depending on your version and install options.

Select the text object you want to change. Then run it as a Macro called TextSizer (Sizer12.gms). There's a begining font size and an Ending font size option. Then it divides it up equally depending on the amount of characters.

I just made it this evening, so there isn't as much error handling as there should be.

If you select multiple text objects, it will resize all of them. If you select a text object AND a curve, it will resize then fit to curve. If you select multiple text object and a curve, it will only fit the last text object, the others you do by hand. It's not a finished product, obviously, but some tweaking can meet your needs most likely.

I didn't protect the file, so it's viewable, Maybe it'll help generate interest in VBA. These are the kind of helper macros that can be created. Oh, and thanks to Carl for telling me about the Command Group function so hitting Undo afterwards will undo the whole thing instead of step by step (and running out of Undo's)

PS, putting a small number first will make the text increase in size, large number first decreases.

The ones that have a GMS as the extension, you save it in
C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 13\Draw\GMS
Will be different for the other versions. I've never had a version before 12, so I'm unsure of others.

Then to run it, you click on TOOLS==VISUAL BASIC==PLAY then you select the macro to run
Use the pulldown next to "Macros in" to choose the proper GMS file or project. That will load all the runable macros to the box above it. Then select the macro and click RUN.

For this particualr macro... have the text boxes selected (and curve if you're going that far) before you run it... it uses your selection to know what to alter.

I tried the Macro, That macro thing is so cool and EASY.
Are there any other Macros i can try out????????
