Default CD labels with curved text

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?
