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

Perhaps you call it a "rule"? It's just a piece of wood, metal, or plastic
marked in inches or centimeters. You use it to find the dimensions of the CD
case insert. You then set up your publication in Publisher to be that size.
Publisher does booklets nicely and will print crop marks for you on your
oversized paper.

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.

Hi, Suzanne! Thanks for your response. I am in Europe, and

everything is

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

(hopefuully) please tell me in .mm what measurements I should use

Frankly I can't understand why when you have such a huge chip on your
shoulder that you think anyone might want to help you. If you write in a
public newsgroup it is *everyone's* business. You are quoting from Doug's
standard signature block, which appears on all his messages to deter people
from contacting him directly unless they wish to pay for his time - which he
gives freely to those who ask questions here. His reply may have been brief,
but it was neither rude nor inaccurate.

As I said in my first reply Word is not a good tool to do this. Word does
not work well with custom paper sizes, so you are going to have to use a
standard paper size and use a ruler to measure the CD booklet and transfer
those measurements to the document to produce a document the size of a CD
booklet page - then you can use the method Suzanne linked to produce a
multi-page booklet. Word does not care what measurement system you use. You
can insert inches of cm (or others) directly in any measurement box as long
as you indicate what they are eg 5 cm 3" etc.

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

I'm sorry if I seem to have a "huge chip" on my shoulder. I guess I'm just
sick and tired of people for whom the Almighty Dollar is their obsession; in
some cases, even their god. I know that we (unfortunately) live in a world
where "men" seem to think they "own" land that God gave us all to live on,
and that we must pay tribute (i.e., money) to these people to rent "their"
land and "their" house and pay for everything with the possible exception of
air. I reluctantly accept this fact, but I do need money like Bill Gates. No
one does. So I guess I'm just so tired of seeing people putting money above
love that it just sickens me. You don't know what I've been through, so I can
somewhat understand your reaction. I didn't mean to insult anyone. I worked
for 35 years and in 2001 I had my substantial life's savings plundered by the
Swiss-German government for the pleasure of one of their wealthiest citizens.
I worked as a musical composer for him for 3 years, and then he refused to
pay me, falsely claiming that I hadn't recorded anything at all. You can hear
sound samples of many of the 375 songs I created for this liar at:

www.cdbaby.com/mbw

Again, I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. If I did, it was not
intentional. I am impoverished and I am just trying to figure out how to put
a CD booklet together so I can try to make copies of my "Ghostwriter" CD and
hopefully sell enough copies to at least eat.

You simply misconstrued Doug's signature block.

People like Doug, Suzanne, myself (and a number of others - some of whom are
MVPs others not) give of our time freely in these public newsgroups to help
Word users. We do not work for Microsoft and do not take payment for our
assistance. What we do object to is people posting unsolicited questions to
our private e-mail addresses (which we do not hide despite the problems it
causes with spam) and that is the prime consideration behind Doug's sig.

I am sorry to hear you were ripped off. It happens. I once worked freelance
for a magazine which went bust owing me several thousand pounds - then
started up again under a new company the following month. I never saw any of
that money.

The fact remains that it is going to be fiddly to produce a CD booklet in
Word. See if you can beg steal or borrow a copy of Microsoft Publisher which
makes producing booklets much simpler and will lead you by the hand along
the way. Try eBay (though beware there are sharks there too).

While your story is unfortunate, it is a poor excuse for acting like an ass.

I am not even remotely aware of Doug Robbin's financial circumstances, but
the possibility does exists that he is only hoping that enough people will
avail themselves of his services so, as you say, he can eat too. Did you
consider that?

I hope, for your sake, that your former patron's pockets are not so deep
that he keeps a team of hungry lawyers around to pounce on folks for
defamation of character. At least you didn't mention him by name ;-)

Good luck on you CD sales project.

from contacting him directly unless they wish to pay for his time - which
he
gives freely to those who ask questions here. His reply may have been
brief,
but it was neither rude nor inaccurate.

As I said in my first reply Word is not a good tool to do this. Word does
not work well with custom paper sizes, so you are going to have to use a
standard paper size and use a ruler to measure the CD booklet and
transfer
those measurements to the document to produce a document the size of a CD
booklet page - then you can use the method Suzanne linked to produce a
multi-page booklet. Word does not care what measurement system you use.
You
can insert inches of cm (or others) directly in any measurement box as
long
as you indicate what they are eg 5 cm 3" etc.

My former patron does, indeed "keep a team of lawyers around', in in this,
the most totalitarian of all countries, there is no freedom of speech. He did
indeed sue me. I went to trial and was quicklly acquitted, even as a hated
American. I suppose you're disappointed to hear that Freedom of Speech won.

We all act like asses at one time or another, especially in these End Times.
Don't you agree? I hope that we all can eat. I was in my native L.A. in 2003
for a year. I hadn't been back in 13 years. I was astounded to see the
richest country in the world overflowing with homeless, starving people!
Americans eating out of garbage cans! Well, my friends, as Jefferson said, "A
country gets the government they deserve".

I am not even remotely aware of Doug Robbin's financial circumstances, but
the possibility does exists that he is only hoping that enough people will
avail themselves of his services so, as you say, he can eat too. Did you
consider that?

I hope, for your sake, that your former patron's pockets are not so deep
that he keeps a team of hungry lawyers around to pounce on folks for
defamation of character. At least you didn't mention him by name ;-)

Good luck on you CD sales project.

I'm sorry if I seem to have a "huge chip" on my shoulder. I guess I'm just
sick and tired of people for whom the Almighty Dollar is their obsession;
in
some cases, even their god. I know that we (unfortunately) live in a world
where "men" seem to think they "own" land that God gave us all to live on,
and that we must pay tribute (i.e., money) to these people to rent "their"
land and "their" house and pay for everything with the possible exception
of
air. I reluctantly accept this fact, but I do need money like Bill Gates.
No
one does. So I guess I'm just so tired of seeing people putting money
above
love that it just sickens me. You don't know what I've been through, so I
can
somewhat understand your reaction. I didn't mean to insult anyone. I
worked
for 35 years and in 2001 I had my substantial life's savings plundered by
the
Swiss-German government for the pleasure of one of their wealthiest
citizens.
I worked as a musical composer for him for 3 years, and then he refused to
pay me, falsely claiming that I hadn't recorded anything at all. You can
hear
sound samples of many of the 375 songs I created for this liar at:

www.cdbaby.com/mbw

Again, I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. If I did, it was not
intentional. I am impoverished and I am just trying to figure out how to
put
a CD booklet together so I can try to make copies of my "Ghostwriter" CD
and
hopefully sell enough copies to at least eat.

As others have said, you took personally Doug's standard signature block,
which appears on every post. I have had posters similarly fail to understand
the warning in my sig ("Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all
follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit."). Anyone who posts
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.
