Word is probably not the best software to use for this. There are many CD
Labelling utilities available which will be easier to use.

In Word, you cannot just draw a rectangle and paste text into it. You can
draw a Text Box and paste in text though. With a rectangle, you need to
right-click on its edge and select Edit Text.

If you want to follow the curve, then you need to use shapes or WordArt.

How experienced are you with Word?

I have WindowsXP.

I have an "Epson Photo R285/290" jet-printer that I want to use for
printing on CDs & DVDs.

It prints OK, but I have a lot of trouble getting the software to print
blocks of text (via a text box).

Its software does not allow direct pasting of clipboard text into a
rectangle drawn onto the software design area.

I need a lot of text on the DVDs for the movie title and the plot
synopsis.

The only way I can think of is to design the text in Word2003 and then
convert this into a picture that the Epson software can put easily onto
the CD/DVD.

Can this be done?

Also, how do I get Word2003 to wrap text around a curved surface, which
CDs & DVDs have?

Is there some easy way to do all this?

Please help, Frank.
