Hi Londa, Well, normally you would email me, as there are times when I get busy and don't read the list; however, since I saw your request, I sent you a copy. Enjoy.

Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Chip Orange Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 3:17 PM To: jawslite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: beta version of Word template to label CDs with Avery 5692 or 8692 labels Hi all, I now have available a beta version of a Word template to allow blind users to make use of the Avery 5692 (laser) or 8692 (inkjet) label sets for CDs. These have 2 complete label sets on a sheet; each set has a main cover label and a front spine and a side spine label. The template gives you a data entry screen for all of these fields, and then copies your data into a new document, placing it into the appropriate Word text boxes. If you save the document, when you reopen it the template will load the data entry screen with values from the document, and allow you to edit them. This template is based on one published by Avery. My wife, who is sighted, says that this version of the CD template is particularly attractive, with lots of colored shading effects. Avery also has a different version of this label, which is very plain; it only prints the text that you enter, and I chose not to work with it. Unfortunately, it's the fanciness which required the use of textboxes, which made it completely inaccessible, as Word textboxes aren't accessible. Anyone with Word (I think any version) who would like to test this out can email me for a copy. It was created with Word 2003. If you don't know Word that should not be a problem; you just fill-in the data, click ok, and you're in Word, where you can choose File | Print, just like any other standard application. If you have sighted assistance who knows Word however, you are given the opportunity to edit the document you've created before printing, and to save it afterward. I'd be interested in feedback to make it more accessible or useful; although I don't guarantee I have a lot of time to add a lot of extra features. In particular, I did remove the textbox from the template that allowed for a placement of a graphic logo. It simply turned out to be very hard to position and scale the graphic, even for a sighted user who has a *lot* of Word experience, so I gave it up as not worth the time. All the source code is included in the template, and I'd be glad to answer questions if someone wants to do more with it; it's open source. Enjoy.
