How to Make a CD Cover in Microsoft Word Word

How to Make a CD Cover on Word

1. Open Word and choose 'New' from the 'File'

menu. Select the 'Template' option and click

on 'Labels.' In the 'Media' category, browse

the CD cover templates available. Select the

one that best suits the kind of cover you want

to make. Don't worry about the design on the

cover. You will be removing it and replacing it

with your own.

2. Click the template you want to use to open

it in Word for editing. The template will have

text and graphics in place. Leave any of the

images you want to use. To delete the text

and graphics on the template, select the

element you want to delete and press the

'Delete' key on you computer. This will get rid

of the template element.

3. Click the 'Insert' menu, select the 'Picture'

option and browse to the location on your

computer where the picture you want to

include on your CD cover is. The picture will

appear in the template. To resize it, click the

picture to select it, then point your mouse at

the selection and drag the selection lines to

size the image.

4. Insert text by going to the 'Insert' menu

and selecting either the 'WordArt' or the 'Text

Box' option. Type the text you want to appear

on your CD cover and format it using the

format toolbar. Set the font style, size and

color with this toolbar.

5. Save your CD cover under a unique name.

To print your CD cover, use CD cover paper

which you can purchase from an office supply

store, or print it on standard copy paper. To

print several of the covers, using template

paper is best. If you use standard paper,

you'll have to cut the CD covers out rather

than removing them by perforation.
