I am trying to decide what I need to create a script to automate the
pictures and text import in a 13 page CorelDraw 12 file.

This 13 page file is a photo calendar. The first page has a year
preview of all 12 months photos, as well as a calendar title. The
next 12 pages (Jan, Feb etc) have a picture at the top 1/3 of the page
(the months calendar underneath that), and some text directly
underneath it.

What I need to do is have a script that goes and takes the
"January.jpg", "February.jpg" etc from the same folder that the .cdr
file exists on, and place a copies of the relevant graphic in the
first page (year preview) and on it's relevant month page as well.
The pictures (photos) are different for each calendar.

The reason I need a script for this is that I have lots of these
calendars to do, and it's very tedious and time consuming to load a
default template calendar and then manually go and change all the
photos and text in it.

Any ideas? I'd be [b]EXTREMELY[/b] grateful if anybody could help
me!!!

Cheers

John

John,

Not really a help:

Don't know at the moment how it could be done in Corel Draw. Baut it is a
real easy thing in Corel Ventura.

There it could be done without any scripts.
