I have coreldraw 11 and it came with photopain 11 and I need some help with Lables.
If you go on the Net or to a store you can get a lot of Lables by say Avery.
And then you need a program to open the Templeatte in so you can print on the Lables and they now how to Aline on the page.
And the same thing goes for CD VDV Lables.
Is there certain Lables I can get and have Coreldraw or photopaint open a Templeate for it?????
I don't have version 11, but I think the process is the same. In CorelDraw, go to Tools>Options. Look under Document>Labels, select Labels and you'll see a large drop down list where you can choose the label brand, size, etc. Check the Help for more info.

Patti is right -- I do have CorelDRAW 11 and that is exactly how to do it.
Good job, Patti!!
Let not the one who says it can't be done interrupt the one who is doing it.
I wen to Tools Options and in here is Lables.
In here there is even Envalopes you can print on.
Now one moe thing say I want a diferant Adress to printout on every Envalope that comes out.
Is there a way to put all my Adresses in Coreldraw and have then print a diferant adress out on every Envalope.
O do I have to make every Envalope one at a time????????
Yes, you can use print a different address on each label or envelope. Use Print Merge and enter the data in Corel itself. I personally use Microsoft Excel to enter the data, and then create a CSV file with the data I want.
Jeff Harrison has a good tutorial on his Macro Monster website about using Excel for print merge. The basics will be the same but you will use Corel and the input method, He uses X3 in the tutorial but the basics are much the same for Ver 11. There should be information in the Help File.

so I can ad all my adress to Coreldraw and have it print it out on every Envalope.
And I can create like a Data Bass of all my addresses and it will keep it and I can ad more as I go on like next week and so on??
Yes, it is a type of database. You can save the file and information using CorelDRAW Print Merge if you save it to start with. When you use it again you load instead of create. I suggest you create a small data base using the feature. Save it as a txt or rtf file. Close Corel. Reopen and start again like you were doing a new Print Merge, except you will load your saved database. You can then alter, delete and or add data.
If you have a spread sheet program, I suggest you use it instead. I use Microsoft Excel. Sometimes I use a real database manage, Microsoft Access, but a spread sheet app is easier to work with and quicker to set up. In both you have to save the information as a CSV (comma separated value) file to use in Draw's Print Merge.
I will say that I have never used the Envelope in the labels layout. I see no reason not to. I never noticed it.

OK I did go into Print Marge then Create something LOL
In the screen that you start with it asks for a Name and you can keep ading Diferant Names.
Is this the Name of the Dada Bass or what is it?
The left window says Name.
The right side says feilds of marge.
and a checkbox that says incramentale field Dada.
OK I am so soory I went in the help files and I got more confuesed.
After I go to file print marge create print marge field.
I need some help making a Data Bass of all my adresses.
The first screen has two sideds I make a name and click AD.
Is this the name I give to my Dada Bass?????????????
And the next screen says edit Fields or something like this.
But I don't see any Places like Adress City State things like this.
A database is a set of records that contains information in a group of fields. (My wording)
The creator of the database must establish the fields and their name. In this case you are the creator. The names can be anything you wish, but it is wise to at least name the fields so that one can understand what each contains. For instance, fname for First Name. Of course you could just as easily use the latter.
CorelDRAW's merger wizard is where you establish the field names and the record data. The screen you are referring to is where you enter the name the fields. (ex. Name, address, city)
I am working in X3, but as I remember it should look very similar to Version 11.
Once you have all your fields named, you enter the data on the next page. The Print Merge Wizard in not fancy but it is effective in doing what you want.
You name your database when you save it as a file. You will have 3 choice of file types. It is your preference as to which to use.
Thanks for all the help but 2. more things?
What is the checkbox for that says Incramentale Dada Field?????
It is on the first screen were ou name and ad names to the Fields.
And after I make my Data Bass I can say go to Coreldraw say next Month and say pick an Envalope and Have the Dada Bass I made link to the Envalope?????
biferi:What is the checkbox for that says Incramentale Dada Field?????
An Incremental Data field is a numeric field that increases (or decreases) its value for each record, for the most common use. There are others, such as incrementing to a certain count, then starting over with the base settting. Experiment some.
You first name and add the field, then check the box to set it up.
biferi:And after I make my Data Bass I can say go to Coreldraw say next Month and say pick an Envalope and Have the Dada Bass I made link to the Envalope?????
Hopefully I understand your question. Yes and no. Not link. You can save your CDR layout with the fields you used for the merge and use it at a later date. You will sill have to run the Print Merge wizard, but this time your previously saved database (you did save it, right). If, however you are wanting to print the same set with no changes, just save the merged file; Merge to new document and save it. There are other ways such as saving to a PDF.
OK I think I am getting the hang of it but I just need a little more help.
On the 2. screen I name all my fields F Name L Name Address City State Zip and click next.
Now I see all my fields I gave names to and I just click inside eatch one to start entering Names and things like that.
But to the far left right before all my Fields is one field called REC $
And it has some numbers in it or 00000 do I have to name this rec 1 or enter something in it?????????????????
And 2. wen I enter Names and Addresses and city state and zip in the filed how do I ad more I see at the bottum of the screen it has a New Tab I think?????????????????????
And 3.
Wen I am done it says do yo want to save the Dada Bass but it says Save Icramantale.
Do I take the check out of Incramantel and just save it or do I have to have the chechkmarc in Save incrimantel??
You will find creating data for a Print Merge will be much easier if you use a Spreadsheet application and save it to a CSV file.

This is not from Ver11 but it should be similar if memory serves me correctly.
biferi: And 2. wen I enter Names and Addresses and city state and zip in the filed how do I ad more I see at the bottum of the screen it has a New Tab I think?????????????????????
More what? Are you wanted to enter additional data (see example above) or data fields?
biferi: And 3. Wen I am done it says do yo want to save the Dada Bass but it says Save Icramantale. Do I take the check out of Incramantel and just save it or do I have to have the chechkmarc in Save incrimantel??
If you have incremental data fields you can save the populated data in those fields by checking the box or not save it by removing the check. The field will still be there, but there will be no entries. If you do not have an incremental field, it does not matter
What I ment is now I know how to make the Dada Fields and give them a Name.
So wen I enter Dada In the Fields F Name L Name Address City State Zip.
It is all for one person.
So wen I want to ad More peop addresses and city state I ment do I have to click next or save befor I can ad a new persons address?????????
