Default CD labels with curved text

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?

By using a different program. The only way to have curved text in
Publisher is with WordArt.

Look here, scroll down to text inside a circle. Not for the faint of heart.

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.)

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

I am basing my assumption on the phrase "CD label" in the subject line and

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.

It wasn't a lecture. It was just some helpful information. I'm glad to hear
you've never had a problem.

I think that JoAnn's advice about not using paper labels on CDs and DVDs is
right-on, especially on media that you want to keep for a long time. The
glues, inks and other chemicals in these labels can deteriorate over time
and damage the media and possibly the CD/DVD drive. Short-term use is
probably OK, but you must be extremely careful about aligning the label on
the disk. If it is not centered perfectly, it can cause the disk to be out
of balance which can ultimately damage a high-speed drive. I have personal
experience with clients who have lost valuable data or audio/video by using
paper labels.

There is a good discussion of all of this he
http://club.cdfreaks.com/f33/sticky-...beware-173236/

On the other hand, "Light Scribe" CD/DVD media and CD/DVDs that can be
printed on directly from some printers are usually OK.

Still, Reed, I have never read on any label box a warning that the label causes
CD disk failure or CD player failure. There are some very good tools on the
market that align the labels perfectly.

It is up to the folks to decide what is best for them.
