    Sorry to hear that.

    I tried it here (Corel 12) before responding to you and it worked OK. Maybe I'm not accurately interpreting what you're wanting to accomplish.

    Hello A_AZAZEL_A,

    Welcome to Talkgraphics.

    I believe what you want to accomplish is called Merging Files.

    Check the Help for your version of CorelDraw.

    The following is a quote from the help file for CorelDraw X4:
    Merging files

    CorelDRAW lets you combine text from a data source with a drawing. When you merge documents, you produce several different copies of a drawing. Each copy contains specific information from a record in a data source, such as a text file or an ODBC data source (a Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access file).
    When you merge documents, you combine a form document and a data source. A form document provides the pattern and layout for a merged document. A data source supplies information for a drawing during the merge. CorelDRAW supports the following data source files: Text (TXT) files, comma-separated values (CSV) files, Rich Text Format (RTF) files, and files that can be opened by means of an ODBC data source.

    Default Re: Corel draw, get data from excel into a text field

    I need to make a multi-language document-generating system. The text content (but not the graphics) changes regularly so updating in all languages is a problem.
    I would like to store the text content in a MySQL database then have COREL automatically generate a PDF for each language after updates. Can Corel MailMerge do this? Can I use VBA or a command-line instruction to do this, so that the document generation is automated?

    Many thanks in advance.

    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
