I don't know what "simple seps to sep" is but I separate each spot color manually. Actually, I copy and past the entire image and the registration marks to another page and remove the unwanted colors (leaving only the color for that channel or layer). Then, I change the color to black and rename the page to the color that it represents.

sir simple seps is a corel draw add on or a macro that can separate spot colors in your design.
here is a link to the product

i have one and i think for the price it does really good.
how do you separate bevel on text for screen printing?
if you set everything up as pantone colors, it will separate in the corel print dialogue w/o using simple seps. That will separate butt-registered. If you want more control over how the colors overlap, you will have to do it manually like Angel said. For example if you want a red to yellow fade, you make a copy of each color, make the yellow fade from black (which will be the 100% yellow) to white, vice versa for the other colors. Sometimes, I'll drag the gradient a little more either way for each color, so the make a smoother blend on press.
That is one advantage of using PMS unfortunately very few people here are keen on it.
an idle press makes no impression ( i like that )
It will certainly leave an impression on the floor

not many are keen on using a PMS fan and matching inks to that, but as far as using a PMS pallete in corel and getting close to the ink colors you have on hand, it works fine.That is one advantage of using PMS unfortunately very few people here are keen on it.
In what way doesn't it work?
Are you printing to a RIP? Which should be fine.
What workflow are you using?

I think that by 'bevel' you are looking for a halftone gradient on the edge?
You can do this most efficiently with a RIP, try Ghostscript or Wasatch.

A PMS fanbook is expensive here and is used mostly by garment exporters. I just use the PMS palette in corel or PS and a printed PMS color swatch. I am only a small printer and frankly, has only use PMS inks on one print job. In others, I use PMS colors only partially. Accurate colors is not my problem now but repeatability of color is which is why it seems desirable to completely switch to a PMS ink system.not many are keen on using a PMS fan and matching inks to that, but as far as using a PMS pallete in corel and getting close to the ink colors you have on hand, it works fine.
And yes, by keen I meant that most people I met seems to be contented with memory-based ink mixing using pigments.
