Carl &/or Shaddy,
If you are looking for a macro project, here is one for people using the free, fantastic boxmaker program
http://www.instituteofthefuture.org/boxmaker/
This program creates a postscript file that imports into CorelDRAW but each "notch" on each side is a separate object. To increase speed and quality of the box, we could select on the objects in one side, Close Path, then with all nodes selected, reduce the nodes (value of about 5?) to get rid of the extra objects created to close the paths.
Of course, this is for 12 & down users since X3 users would just Create Boundary.

There's already a VBA box-maker that is hosted on Shaddy's website:

Carl,
Thanks,
Only after you bring it to my attention, do I now recall seeing that several months back on Sawmill. I never got back to download and try it and promptly forgot all about it.
I've now downloaded and will see how it works in comparison.
