Default How do I format a CD booklet in Microsoft Word?

I thought that Doug was quite rude, and I don't understand using a "ruler",
so I guess I'm simply not going to get an answer that a non-expert
understands here. Too bad Microsoft can't make more logical software.

Publisher would be easier. As Doug says, use a ruler.

Use a ruler and measure the case into which you want to insert the

booklet.

Hi, Suzanne! Thanks for your response. I am in Europe, and everything is
metric. I just want to create a simple music CD booklet which will

contain
the lyrics to some of my songs. If I can get as far as you've directed

me
(hopefuully) please tell me in .mm what measurements I should use to
create
a music CD booklet. I also have Publisher, if you think that would be
better.

Thanks,


Michael

If you have Word 2002 or above, use the "Book fold" feature. If an
earlier
version, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm.
Very
likely you will have to set your booklet up with larger margins on a
larger
paper size, then trim accordingly.

Thanks for you answer, but I'm sorry. I don't understand it. I'm a
techno-dummy. I only know enough to get by. Can you tell me where to
get a
CD
booklet templet or something" It'll be about 10 or 12 pages. I have

it
saved
as a Word document. You can also e-mail me directly at:


Thanks,

Word is a poor tool for this job. Publisher is better, but

Surething
CD
labeller is *much* better.

If you have Nero, it too has a labelling tool that you could use.
