Word and Avery definitely have some CD templates for Word. You might be
able to customize within the CD-burning software, too, depending on what
you've got.

Subject: Re: framemaker labels
Have you tried the Avery site for a (word) template?
I am not aware of a free CD label template for FrameMaker.
When I need to create a custom CD/DVD label, I usually wind up using
Illustrator or InDesign.
If you can't find anything and are stuck using Word, try creating an
8.5x11 page in a drawing program that places the graphics in the right
place and then placing the graphic in the header so you can position it
precisely.
Ensure the graphic is set to let the text flow on top of it.
Good luck,
Wendy
