How do I convert Word2003 text to a picture?

From: Frank Martin on 3 Jul 2008 21:07 I have WindowsXP. I have an "Epson Photo R285/290" jet-printer that I want to use for printing on CDs & DVDs. It prints OK, but I have a lot of trouble getting the software to print blocks of text (via a text box). Its software does not allow direct pasting of clipboard text into a rectangle drawn onto the software design area. I need a lot of text on the DVDs for the movie title and the plot synopsis. The only way I can think of is to design the text in Word2003 and then convert this into a picture that the Epson software can put easily onto the CD/DVD. Can this be done? Also, how do I get Word2003 to wrap text around a curved surface, which CDs & DVDs have? Is there some easy way to do all this? Please help, Frank.

From: Terry Farrell on 4 Jul 2008 05:50 Word is probably not the best software to use for this. There are many CD Labelling utilities available which will be easier to use. In Word, you cannot just draw a rectangle and paste text into it. You can draw a Text Box and paste in text though. With a rectangle, you need to right-click on its edge and select Edit Text. If you want to follow the curve, then you need to use shapes or WordArt. How experienced are you with Word? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Frank Martin" <fm(a)general.com.au> wrote in message news:OWWupJX3IHA.1192(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I have WindowsXP. > > I have an "Epson Photo R285/290" jet-printer that I want to use for > printing on CDs & DVDs. > > It prints OK, but I have a lot of trouble getting the software to print > blocks of text (via a text box). > > Its software does not allow direct pasting of clipboard text into a > rectangle drawn onto the software design area. > > I need a lot of text on the DVDs for the movie title and the plot > synopsis. > > The only way I can think of is to design the text in Word2003 and then > convert this into a picture that the Epson software can put easily onto > the CD/DVD. > > Can this be done? > > Also, how do I get Word2003 to wrap text around a curved surface, which > CDs & DVDs have? > > Is there some easy way to do all this? > > Please help, Frank. > > >
From: JoAnn Paules on 4 Jul 2008 11:29 That being the case, you may have some software for label design that came with the printer. Word is not going to be the program you want to use. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Frank Martin" <fm(a)general.com.au> wrote in message news:uKFISlY3IHA.1808(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Yes, it prints on to the CD/DVDs. > > > > "JoAnn Paules" <jl_paules(a)hotnospammail.com> wrote in message > news:F1B03018-C430-480F-AB77-1AE0E1B052E8(a)microsoft.com... >> Does that printer actually print on the CDs or are you using labels? >> >> -- >> >> JoAnn Paules >> MVP Microsoft [Publisher] >> Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" >> >> >> >> "Frank Martin" <fm(a)general.com.au> wrote in message >> news:OWWupJX3IHA.1192(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >>>I have WindowsXP. >>> >>> I have an "Epson Photo R285/290" jet-printer that I want to use for >>> printing on CDs & DVDs. >>> >>> It prints OK, but I have a lot of trouble getting the software to print >>> blocks of text (via a text box). >>> >>> Its software does not allow direct pasting of clipboard text into a >>> rectangle drawn onto the software design area. >>> >>> I need a lot of text on the DVDs for the movie title and the plot >>> synopsis. >>> >>> The only way I can think of is to design the text in Word2003 and then >>> convert this into a picture that the Epson software can put easily onto >>> the CD/DVD. >>> >>> Can this be done? >>> >>> Also, how do I get Word2003 to wrap text around a curved surface, which >>> CDs & DVDs have? >>> >>> Is there some easy way to do all this? >>> >>> Please help, Frank. >>> >>> >>> >> > >
