Perhaps you call it a "rule"? It's just a piece of wood, metal, or plastic
marked in inches or centimeters. You use it to find the dimensions of the CD
case insert. You then set up your publication in Publisher to be that size.
Publisher does booklets nicely and will print crop marks for you on your
oversized paper.

I thought that Doug was quite rude, and I don't understand using a
"ruler",
so I guess I'm simply not going to get an answer that a non-expert
understands here. Too bad Microsoft can't make more logical software.

Publisher would be easier. As Doug says, use a ruler.

Use a ruler and measure the case into which you want to insert the
booklet.

Hi, Suzanne! Thanks for your response. I am in Europe, and
everything is
metric. I just want to create a simple music CD booklet which will
contain
the lyrics to some of my songs. If I can get as far as you've
directed
me
(hopefuully) please tell me in .mm what measurements I should use
to
create
a music CD booklet. I also have Publisher, if you think that would
be
better.

Thanks,


Michael

If you have Word 2002 or above, use the "Book fold" feature. If an
earlier
version, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm.
Very
likely you will have to set your booklet up with larger margins on
a
larger
paper size, then trim accordingly.

Thanks for you answer, but I'm sorry. I don't understand it. I'm
a
techno-dummy. I only know enough to get by. Can you tell me where
to
get a
CD
booklet templet or something" It'll be about 10 or 12 pages. I
have
it
saved
as a Word document. You can also e-mail me directly at:


Thanks,

Word is a poor tool for this job. Publisher is better, but
Surething
CD
labeller is *much* better.

If you have Nero, it too has a labelling tool that you could
use.
