Question
We use CorelDraw10. I need to know how to do half tones set by step
I'm afraid you have not made yourself clear.
You don't "do" halftones. The halftone effect is produced by the raster image processor (RIP) used by the printing company (it's like an extremely high-resolution printer). Your output file contains tints, which the RIP will convert into a halftone pattern in accordance with its line frequency and other settings.
You could take a look at the jargon guide on our website which explains the idea in more detail:

Expertise
My main area of continuous expertise with CorelDraw involves setting press advertisements and I have rarely used it to produce complex drawings. However as director of a small company I have amassed a good deal of background knowledge of computers, various printers and networks over the years. When it comes to problem-solving, I have a long history of having nobody to ask but myself and, lately, the internet!

University educated and over 2 decades of hands-on experience
My first printer was a Star LC10 Colour and I once paid £1745 for an HP Laserjet III.
