Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I just installed the CD
and DVD Label Creator product but I cannot find the templates when I start
Microsoft Word. Where are they?
A: Have no fear -- this
relatively common problem can be easily solved. Because many of you have
various configurations for Microsoft Word, sometimes our automatic installer
cannot properly locate the templates folder on your system. This folder
holds your Microsoft Word templates, and also is where our installer tries
to put the CD Label Creator templates.
>> To fix this problem, you need to
find your templates folder. To do this, start Microsoft Word. Next, click on
Tools, then Options, then click the File Locations Tab. From there,
double-click on the User Templates folder and keep track of this location.
Note: When you double-click on the User templates option you may then need
to hit the UP arrow next toe folder name to figure out exactly where the
folder is on your system.
Next, run the installer for the CD and DVD Label Creator and specify this
folder.
Finally, start Word, and hit File | New. Select the Templates from Your
Computer as the option. You should then see a listing of templates created
by the CD and DVD Label Creator .
Q: How do I insert images in
tables and CD label templates easily?
A:
An excellent question. Because Word has many advanced layout
features, the easiest way is to use Text Boxes.
Advanced Formatting with Text Boxes
Word has a wonderful way of making the layout of your
creations easy to work with – it’s called the Text Box. In Word, you can
select the Insert menu and then click on Text Box. Word will allow you to
draw such a text box to any size you would like. Once the text box is
created, you can move it around to any position you like. You can modify its
properties by first clicking ONCE on the text box and the RIGHT-clicking the
text box. On the pop-up menu select Format Text Box. From there you can
decide if the text box has a fill or is transparent, if it has a border
(lines), and under the Layout tab you can decide how it will fit in line
with the rest of your creations. You can add text, images, pictures, and
more to your text box. Think of it as a container for things you’d like to
add.
So, as you can see, using the Text Box is a powerful
tool for page layout. It lets you easily combine and manipulate images and
text. Each of your label, card, or insert documents can contain multiple
text boxes. Your imagination is the limit. For more help with Text Boxes,
check out Word’s Help File.
Also note: You can adjust the layout properties by
right-clicking the text box and clicking the Layout tab and then the
advanced button. Note the option for Move with Text under the Picture
Position Tab. Use this option to help anchor your text boxes when you move
other elements around.
