Corel 10 includes a filemaker, dbase, access database aware function that allows the graphic artist to tie in variable text to their artwork. Think of it as a mail merge option. I was impressed as this had no resemblance to the ventura db publisher antecedents of their software. For those artists that require variable text and font handling in their artwork, this may be the way to go.

I am truly anxious for CorelDraw 10's release. I have been a user of CorelDraw since version 5, and virtually every upgrade has been a grand improvement (most notably from 8 to 9). I cannot wait. I hope it gives reason for Adobe and Macromedia to fear.
