A blast from the past!
In CorelDRAW X7 (2018), the Mail Merge feature allows you to automate the process of creating multiple versions of a document by inserting data from an external source, such as a CSV file or a database. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Mail Merge in CorelDRAW X7:
Prerequisites:
- Make sure you have CorelDRAW X7 installed on your computer.
- Create a new document or open an existing one that you want to use for Mail Merge.
Step 1: Prepare your data
- Collect the data you want to use for Mail Merge. This can be a CSV file, an Excel spreadsheet, or a database.
- Ensure that your data is organized in a table format with each row representing a single record and each column representing a field (e.g., name, address, phone number, etc.).
Step 2: Create a Mail Merge document
- Open your CorelDRAW document and go to Tools > Mail Merge.
- In the Mail Merge dialog box, select the data source you want to use (e.g., CSV file, Excel spreadsheet, or database).
- Choose the data fields you want to use for the merge (e.g., name, address, phone number, etc.).
- Click OK to create the Mail Merge document.
Step 3: Design your merge layout
- In the Mail Merge document, you'll see a placeholder for each field you selected in Step 2.
- Use the Text tool to create a text box for each field.
- Format the text boxes as needed (e.g., font, size, color, etc.).
- Use the Merge tool to merge the data into the text boxes.
Step 4: Run the Mail Merge
- Go to Tools > Mail Merge > Run Mail Merge.
- In the Mail Merge dialog box, select the output options (e.g., save as a new document, overwrite an existing document, etc.).
- Click OK to run the Mail Merge.
Tips and Variations:
- You can use Mail Merge to create multiple versions of a document by using different data sources or by using conditional statements to control the merge process.
- You can also use Mail Merge to create envelopes, labels, or other types of documents.
- If you're using a CSV file as your data source, make sure to save it with a
.csv
extension and use the Text file type when selecting the data source in CorelDRAW.
