Default CD labels with curved text

Gals, Guys,

My wife just got a '07 Toyota Corolla (doggone! that woman has a generous
husband) with a six disk CD Player/Radio. It's the kind with one slot; you
just keep stuffing the CDs in until it won't take anymore. Anyway, because
paper labels do add to the thickness of the CD, I think, why tempt the CD
demons? (Annie is using extra precaution, she inserts a single CD at a
time).

Epilogue: The car is a used car with 7800+/- miles at the time of purchase
(last month) and the CD unit was jammed not allowing either loading nor
unloading any CDs. Toyota replaced the unit at no cost. We don't know the
cause of the CD player malfunction.

Wouldn't it be great if the CD/DVD burner could burn a label on the disk?!

I think labels on CD's is relative to one's experience. I have old CDs that
I have labeled and have never had any problems with them nor my CD-DVD
players. Folks generally don't need a lecture when they come here for help.

I am basing my assumption on the phrase "CD label" in the subject line and
body of the original post.

There are printers that print directly on a CD. Perhaps the poster has
one of those. How are we to know?

You really shouldn't use labels on CDs/DVDs. Labels can cause the
CD/DVD to be out of balance, and can damage the drive. If the label
should warp, the disk could get stuck in the device. Air bubbles under
the label could cause an unequal distribution of forces on the disc as
it spins in the drive, which in turn could cause the disc to shatter
while spinning at high speeds such as 52X for CDs and 16X for DVDs.
Other issues have also been attributed to the use of paper labels on
disks.

(You may not care about the possible long term effects but it's still
good information to have on hand.)

How do I insert round or curved text that will follow the curve of the
inside
or outside circumference of the CD label without using Word Art?
