How do I print CD labels

[Guest]

I am desperately trying to print on a CD label (logo, date, information etc).
All that Microsoft provides me is a 'CD label' template which I can download.

However, the sizes are not exact. For example, the middle circle is not
right in the middle so the printing comes out unprofessional. What do I do?

They say that the label is suited for EVERY lables. I use Office Depot cd
labels, but I dont thing there is any difference in size.

Thanks

Word is a ridiculous product for printing CD labels (and it may not be a
good idea to put labels on CDs that are used to hold data or DVDs as the
rotational speeds can be enormous, resulting in damage to the player through
out of balance forces). You should either print on the CD itself (those
printers that can do this come with software for the task) or if you must
use adhesive labels use an application intended for the job - such as the
excellent SureThing CD Labeller.

Thanks Graham, I am aware of the point you are making about damage to the CD.
However, I am talking about CDs intended for one/two times use only (for
example company promotions or presentations).

So you want to wreck someone else's player?
My original recommendations remain.
