Hi Guys...I've prepared a quarter page ad for the Finger Lakes Wine Gazette, a local color newsprint quarterly. I've never prepared a CorelDraw sketch with photos for print before and the deadlines Friday. Can anyone guide me through this probably easy process? Thanks in advance... Terry

Easy....just assemble it just like you would a sign by importing the photos and typing in the text.
Save it in a .cdr on your hard drive (in case you need to make any changes)....then ask the printer what format that they prefer... save in that format and email it to them.

If you convert all your text to curves, you will not have to embed your fonts.

Thanks y'all, I know this is probably an elementary issue, but if you've never done it, $500. is an large investment to send in a screwed up ad.
