Hi! We use FLEXI as our signmaker software. And we like to use it. I am learning new things every day :)

Now I need some help with a lot of names from an Excel sheet. We have a client who want 1 name pr. t-shirt.
And there is 100 of them. Time 2...

Is there an easy way to import the names from Excel and in to Flexi to preapare for cut?

I can think of several options.
Have you tried cut and paste from Excel to Flexi?
Export from Excel as a TXT file
Print to PDF and import the PDF into flexi.

You will still have to play with the fonts and sizing once in to Flexi.

For importing names from Excel into FLEXI, you can use the "Variable Data" feature. Personally, I think it’s great for handling a lot of names, like your t-shirt project.First, make sure your Excel sheet is properly formatted, with names in one column. Save it as a CSV file. In FLEXI, go to "File" -> "Import" -> "Variable Data." You can then map the data fields to your design template.Also, having Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021 can make managing your Excel files smoother, especially with large data sets.

No it can't. In fact, my old copy of office 2003 chews up excel files and sh*ts lightning. Plus, selling hacked software is a big no-no, that sh*t is free if you're already morally compromised, why pay a thief when you can be one yourself?

At any rate, anybody else know if corel has a similar feature for importing excel data? Recently had a 150 apartment numbers, and my salesguy wasted an hour or two typing each number into a blank sign, which wouldn't have been so bad, if a couple didn't get messed up, and if he'd kept them numerically organized. Instead I played where's waldo with 10 3 digit numbers in a sea of 150 of them.
