While similar features might be available in previous releases the tip will be fully applicable to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 and newer versions only.Macros are recorded series of actions that let you perform tasks quickly. The macros in CorelDRAW® are based on Microsoft® Visual Basic® For Applications (VBA), which is included in the installation of CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite.You can take advantage of the VBA macros available in the program, and you can record your own macros to automate tasks that you perform frequently.

However, VBA can also be used to create richer macros and applications to help you with complex tasks.
