It is not possible using CorelDraw's standard tools.
However I think it would be possible to create a Macro to do what you want (Tools/Macros/Macro Editor). CorelDraw X4 supports Microsoft VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) with which you can open and use other Microsoft documents (e.g. Excel) within CorelDraw.
I can not help you further with this because the solution is long and complex!
If I was doing this job myself I would probably not attempt it in CorelDraw, but write the solution in .asp (active server pages), which would open the .xls file and use the contents line-by-line to open the image files and add the other information.

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!
