Hi, it's me, Dredd. Did you know you can print your DVD cover using Microsoft Word?
Let me show you how to do it.

I am going to use Microsoft Word XP Professional to print DVD cover. (Click here for Microsoft Word 2007).

Click on DVD Movie Covers to download your cover. |

Open Microsoft Word by
clicking on START then PROGRAMS and choose MICROSOFT
WORD. This will open Word and automatically have a new document ready for use |
| 2. | First you’ll have to change the layout of your page from Portrait to Landscape, and resize your margins. Otherwise, when you print your cover, they won't fit on the page. You’ll also have to make sure that your paper size is on A4 if you are using cm, and Letter if you are using inches. Click on FILE and choose PAGE SETUP. |

the Orientation (Marked as "3") option box, select LANDSCAPE. Click
on the PAPER tab (Marked as "4") and change your paper size to Letter
or A4. Click OK. If you get a message after clicking on OK, click FIX, and click OK again. |
