How to print CD/DVD labels on standard two-per-sheet paper?

[swingdjted]

Every time I download templates to print CD/DVD labels, I see only one label
on a small sheet of paper. When I go to the office supply store, I only have
the option of buying paper with the standard two-label design. How do I
create and edit CD labels where I can work with both onscreen and then print
both at once (different top from bottom) in such a way that everything is
aligned with the cutout sticker labels on the page?

Anytime you need to edit both halves of your label you need to setup the page
manually. Most CD/DVD templates will print two to a page.

Select the label you want from the page setup, make a note of the margins.
Some Avery templates have the below measurements. You can use ruler guides and
the Master page.
Landscape
Side margins- .69
Top margin-- 1.94
Horizontal gap-- .38
Vertical gap--- zero

Start with Arrange, Layout guides, type the above margins, Grid Guides tab, two
columns, .38 spacing

Some CD templates are portrait, one above the other.

buy the labels that come with a basic design program - very easy that way!
The one I have cost less than 20 bucks.

Thank you. Although I haven't printed yet to see if everything is aligned,
this is what I was looking for.

test print on a regular sheet of paper and hold it over the template paper
to see.
or just waste one template sheet to see if it aligns.

using the design program along with the template paper I bought I had no
alignment problems at all...bam - right on first time out.
