How to install and launch a VBA Macro

In some ways, I think VBA macros are big part of CorelDRAW's future. Often times, a technical solution that many Corelians have yearned for - sometimes for years - can be provided by other CorelDRAW users directly.

Perhaps there's a feature or function you wished CorelDRAW had. Rather than waiting for years for the next Draw version to come out, someone may have already created a VBA Macro that does what you've always dreamed about.

There are many VBA Macros out there, but today we'll focus on one. When run, it allows you to number the pages in your CorelDRAW document. DOWNLOAD the 2.6 MB ZIP FILE which contains:

• The Movie
• The Page Number Macro
• A Custom Toolbar Icon
• Notes

Font Navigator issues after updating CorelDRAW X3

After updating my system, CorelDRAW X3 didn't seem as helpful as it had been before for installing the required fonts for the opened PDF or EPS. reverting to the old Font Navigator DLL file did the trick for me.

Draw must be closed. Back up the existing DLL if you like. Then drop the older DLL (unzip first) into the Corel X3 folders - 2 places where there is the one with the same name. The link is under my name below


Ideally you want to have lots of fonts archived on your system, but not installed in the Windows font folder. Let font navigator go through your font archive and build a database.

When you bring in a PDF, FN will offer to install the required font for you, but only suggests fonts it has in its database.
