Word Clouds? Text Clouds?
« on: August 09, 2013, 09:55:48 PM »
I don't know where else to ask this but...

Is there a macro available to make word clouds or whatever they are called? Or maybe X7 will be equipped with a tool to do this. I have had a number of jobs requiring this text effect lately and I would like to be able to do it right out of Corel. If you use Wordle or Tagxedo you can only grab them or save as a bitmap and I would love to be able to use text or even graphics that could be arranged and colored the way the online programs work. But with more Corel capabilities of course! I think GDG Macros or someone like that could really make some crazy cool effects if this is something that could be done with a macro.

Any thoughts?

Cartoon style word balloons have been available in CorelDRAW as fonts or symbols for quite a few versions.

Never mind. I found one and its a free download. Seams to work pretty cool. Can be saved as an .emf and import to Corel.
Here's the link

Okay, that I've had a client bring me art from an online "Word Cloud Generator" Hers weren't "cloud" shaped so it didn't register with me.

Good finds.  I did a cloud for this forum when it first opened, but never found a use for it. Looks cool, but hard to apply here other than just posting an image of it.
