how to blend to Lines in Corel DRaw 9

Webride:
To blend any two objects in Corel DRAW, go to your Tool Bar and find the icon that looks like a series of picture frames going off into the distance. This icon can be found just beneath the "Wine Glass" icon, or the Interactive Fill tool. There is a sub-menu there, and if you click on it, you will see it on the list.
When you have selected the Blend Tool, you will see the Property Bar has changed to give you all of the controls that you will need with this tool. On the left side of the Property Bar is an icon that looks like some stair steps, this is where you will enter the amount of steps you want in your blend. After you have entered the amount of steps, select the first object and drag towards your second object. When you do this, you will see a large arrow attached to the first object and when you reach the second object, a small square will snap to the center of that object. Release your mouse button and you have completed the blend.
Now, if you would like to have this blend follow a curved pathway, first create the blend group. Next, create the curved pathway that you would like the blend group to follow. Select the blend group, then go to the right side of the Property Bar and look for the 3rd. icon from the end, it will be a diagonal line with a small arrow touching it. This is the "Path Properties" icon. Click on the icon, then you will see a large "Dog-legged" arrow appear on your cursor. Move your cursor over to the new curved pathway and select it. Presto! You now have your blended group following the curved path.
