    How to do pagination in corel draw?

    We usually make pages in corel draw, and choose separate file for each page.  We have to manually put logo and page number on each separate page.  Is there way we can do it automatically.  We approximately make 60 pages in corel draw as separate file.  It is difficult to make a combined file of 60 pages in corel draw.  Any suggestions please.

    This may depend on the size of your file. Try to hunt for Unleash.com for the webmagazine in which I have shared my way of working on books with CorelDRAW.

    We usually make pages in corel draw, and choose separate file for each page.

    Putting a logo on each page is possible by creating Master layer in your file. And you can use the built in macro in DRAW. This macro only is suitable for single file with multiple pages as it numbers the pages from "1". So you cannot use it if you have split pages in more than one file.

    I don't think it would be difficult to handle upto 60 pages in a file. I completed a 1200 page book this february where I had to split my pages in several files. It depends on the data on the pages (ultimately the file size)

    The best suggestion I can give you is to use Corel Ventura in conjunction
    with CorelDRAW. It is designed to do EXACTLY what you want.

    Michael,

    My suggestions to use Ventura is simply because it is the right tool for the
    job. CorelDRAW is a great tool, it just can't do everything easily. When
    people are trying to build books with it, they are wasting time. As you
    know, there is no auto page numbering. Yes, there are macros that might be
    able to do it, but they won't help if the pages change.
