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.

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.

Hope this helps.
Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of
my services on a paid consulting basis.

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,

A CD booklet is essentially a two fixed size cell table with a
border as
a
cutout guide and can be printed on any paper size that will
fit it. 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.
