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.
