    Using Access or Excel Data in CorelDraw 12

     I would like to create a plot file with CorelDraw 12 using data from Microsoft Access or Excel. We engrave customer info with a machine that reads .plt files that we create in CorelDraw and currently must input the customer info manually.

     Thank you Jeff,

     This is great info. However I must be able to export as a .plt file and print merge doesn't seem to allow that. I apologize that I wasn't more explicit in my initial post.

    You can print to a device independent PS file (look in print driver choice in draw print engine)

    a file is then created 

    Open that new imposed file in X3 as curves

    export as .PLT
