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?

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.

When someone writes about my "availing" myself of his "services" for a
simple
question asked at a newsgroup, and not of this person at all, yes, he is
rude, and this is really none of your business. Get it"

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!

Your response sounds like a joke, and that is how I take it. I also do
not
wish to "avail" msyelf of your "services". If I wish to pay a
consultant for
such a simple question, I guarantee you, you'll be the last person on
earth I
will consider. I'd rather buy another program than to pay such a rude
person
anything at all.

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.
