Can CD labels and jewel case inserts be created using WORD 2003?

[dls123]

I would like to create and print CD labels and jewel case inserts using MS
Office WORD 2003. Can this be done or do I need another software package?
My CDs are from Maxell and have printable white surfaces for an inkjet
printer.

I wouldn't use Word for that task. I suppose it *could* be done though.

You should write neatly on them rather than trying to stick on a paper
label, which will unbalance the disk and maybe make it unreadable.

You could make your inserts (booklets, or just tray cards and covers?)
in text boxes or tables of the right size, with a faint outline for
cutting them to size. For the spine texts, you can rotate table cells.

Investigate Surething CD Labeller which makes this job child's play (though
I would not recommend sticking paper labels to CD/DVDs) or if you are using
Nero to create your CDs that too has a built-in label editor (not as easy to
use as Surething, but a lot more sensible than using Word for the task).
