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

OK, Suzanne, thanks. GEEZ! I sure got myself in trouble for THAT statement,
didn't I? WOW! I've beengetting attacked by every Microsoft freak in the
world, I think! Gosh! I guess I'm really sensitive after all the lust for
money I've been around here in Switzerland, where the national pastime is
ripping of foreigner's life's savings. Sorry about that, Suzanne. Now go
listen to my music and see what a nice guy I am at:

See?

consistently in these NGs is very familiar with the phenomenon of getting
email that begins, "I saw that you have posted a lot of answers in the
newsgroups, so I am hoping you can help me with my problem." If I send any
answer at all, it is likely to be, "When I see your question in the
newsgroups, I will be happy to answer it."

Obviously, the signature block becomes more prominent (and hence subject to
misunderstanding) when a reply is short, and many of mine are because, when
possible, I refer users to an online article that will provide a more
thorough answer.

Michael,

You are out of line. Just because you don't understand doesn't make
everyone else stupid and rude.

A 'ruler' is a linear measuring device, and he is simply telling you to
measure the case. So measure the case!

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

Very

on a
larger
paper size, then trim accordingly.

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.

help me fight the evil Swiss, I now have a lawyer from Alabama. Smile,

So just because you acted like an ass and got called you on it, you now
consider me a Microsoft freak.

Ok, as this is neither a barroom or barracks, I will hold close futher
opinions of you and suggestions as to what you can do with your music
and respectfully retire from the field.
