Is there an easy way to make/print labels for cds?

Like, a program or a tool in Word or something?

Anything?

You can actually buy labels that you can use in your printer to do just that. Most come with software or a link to download the software tool so your printer can use the labels. Target, Best Buy, OfficeMax, Office Depot would all have these in stock.

I hit Office Max today - thank you! :)

...and you can always go to www.download.com and search for cd label maker, and pick a program to download. Select freeware if you want the free stuff.

Thanks for both alternatives. I'll try the free one first. :)

If all you want to do is label them with information, rather than graphics, Word has templates for all standard Avery labels, and several other companies as well, but I've only every used Avery.

Tools/Letters and Mailings/Envelopes and Labels/click on the lower right corner - 'label'. Make the 'label product' Avery. Scroll to find '5824 - CD Label'. Click to select, than select New Document. This will open a doc with the template active and the cursor placed correctly for the label. Feed the appropriate label into your printer and you're good to go.

Or you can explore the products from other companies to find something you like better.

Yay for Avery! I forgot all about them - duh! Bad office drone - no cookie. Thanks. :)

If you have microsoft publisher, they've got easy templates for standard labels. Alternatively, I bought a labelmaking program for around $10...which is not a lot when you take the value of your time into account!

I'm going to give the MS Word labels with Avery a try, but I might try something else if I'm not happy with the results, if it's only $10. Thanks!
