DVD Insert Template?
Hi,
Anyone know if there is a blank DVD wallet template available anywhere, that I can use with Word to make simple covers for the DVDs I am about to record from my old VHS tapes? I've used the Office Online search feature from within Word itself, but I can't find any. All I'm after is something simple. In fact, I only really need to type in the DVD titles on the spine, so that they're visible when I have them stored in a bookcase. I'm happy to cut out the things with scissors to the correct size, so long as there is some size outline guide for me to follow, that ends up printed on the paper when they're finished. (The things I want to make are the inserts that you put behind the clear plastic that is on the _outside_ of the DVD wallets.) Thanks in advance, Meehan Mydog Cheshire, UK

DVD Insert Template?
You could easily make your own with the aid of a three cell table in
landscape mode and the aid of a ruler. If you are serious about DVD covers then investigate Surething CD Labeller. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Meehan Mydog wrote: Hi, Anyone know if there is a blank DVD wallet template available anywhere, that I can use with Word to make simple covers for the DVDs I am about to record from my old VHS tapes?

Thanks for that. I would dispute your use of the word 'easily' though... I'm clueless!  No, I'm not that serious, and I only want plain basic titling along the spines, which is why I'm looking at the template option instead of getting special labelling paper. I have only about a dozen or so VHS tapes that need to be re-recorded onto DVD anyway.

Measure the spine - clue: it will be around 7.5" by 0.5"
Create a table with cells fixed at that size. Apply cell borders to the table. Type what you require in the cells Cut out with scissors. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Meehan Mydog wrote: Graham Mayor wrote: You could easily make your own with the aid of a three cell table in landscape mode and the aid of a ruler.

You didn't mention that the text in the center cell will need to be rotated.

Not necessarily. If the OP is only creating spines, they will work portrait
mode. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

DVD Insert Template?
But the insert would have to be a one-column, three-row table as opposed to
the one-row, three-column table that we might have envisioned if we assumed the front and back of the insert would have content (the "three cell table in landscape mode" that you initially mentioned). -- Suzanne S.

Not if the user was creating labels only for the spine - as indicated
earlier in the thread. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Well, I was just saying that if the user used your original instructions for
a "three cell table in landscape mode," then the spine text would have to be rotated in the center cell. -- Suzanne S.
