Peter and Gary,

You've been pointed to Chip Orange's excellent template for printing
Avory cd/dvd labels in Word.  However, that does not actually print on
the cd or dvd.

The LightScribe technology allows one to burn a simple or quite
elaborate label on the label side of a LightScribe enabled disk with the
appropriate software and a LightScribe enabled cd/dvd burner.

Essentially, you burn the music or data to your disk using whatever
program you are accustomed to using.  When that is done, flip the disk
over in the burner and go into your labelling program.  There are free
stand alone programs that you can get at

http://www.lightscribe.org

Or many cd burning programs such as Nero or Roxio include LightScribe
labelling in their laebl creation sub-programs.

I use a simple stand alone program from the LightScribe site.  You enter
the program, fill into a couple fields of information i.e. artist and
disk name, hit "next" and then "burn label" and in a couple of minutes
you have a print quality label on the disk.

As mentioned about, you need a LightScribe enabled burner and
LightScribe enabled disk.  They are virtually the same cost as regular
high quality disks.

There was a compeating technology released at the same time as
LightScribe, but I haven't heard anything more about it in the last
couple of years.

Subject: Printing on CD label 

Some time ago on this or some other list I am on I saw info about a Jaws
script or possibly a MS Word macro to help produce labels on the actual
CD.

Anyone know about this.

Or is there an accessble program for this.

My Cannon printer allows this, but the program is not really accessible.
