Label@Once

[sretniv]

Does anybody out there know if it is possible to rotate the text in Label@once - I want to be able to label the spines of my DVDs when I have produces them - if I set the paper to landscape it is OK but the front and back text are wrong and in landscape the text is obviously only horizontal and not vertical. Any help, suggestions gratefully received.

Why double post ?
Looks like you have two options for printing on the DVD spine - horizontally or vertically. After choosing your template, simply select portrait or landscape. See page 55 of the manual. I haven't tried any of this

I received this pm - which was actually blocked by our IT guys. Not being sure why I would have a blocked message, I asked them to release it - they did .

Sorry about the double post but I am new to this.
Thanks for the reply - I've tried that - if you work in landscape and insert art work on the front and text on the back and then change to portrait to put text on the spine you lose the original work - the manual gives no reference to this problem - at the moment I am printing out out both versions and then using cut and stick

OK, I'm hopeless at Image Editing, but would suggest you try preparing your images with text using one of them and then importing it into MF. Maybe someone else has a suggestion or two ?

By the way - to open label@once, click on the printer icon at the bottom of the MF window. I only discovered this when checking out sretniv's post .

Thanks for the help - I haven't needed to use this recently - one thing is puzzling me however - what is MF an abbreviation for?

Thanks again.

I've been searching to find a post that has a solution to placing text on the spine of a dvd cover. This is all I've found but the answer seems to be to work on the image in a 3rd party software package which seems crazy if MF purports to be a complete solution for DVD authoring.

Does anyone know if this is the only solution?

Thanks,

I gather from the lack of response to this post that no-one knows the answer. However I finally took the plunge and bought PhotoImpact. I guess that is the marketing idea - buy your first Ulead/Corel product and then find it doesn't quite do everything so you buy, as I did, DVDMF first, then VS and now finally, PhotoImpact. I hope I'm done now

I just tried out label@once for the first time, since I wanted to print a label for a DVD-box. Ok, everything selfexplaining, until I wanted to rotate the text for the spine of the DVD-box.

"...where is the "rotate"-handle? It should be somewhere..."

Checked the handbook, searched the web - and found this post. Seems like it's simply not possible to rotate text - now this is something I can't understand, the programmers should have thought of implementing a rotate-option, for text-boxes as well as for pictures. From my point of view, the tool is incomplete.

...or am I blind and can't see what should be there???

You're not blind. I couldn't find a solution so I had to purchase PhotoImpact which has all the DVD cover templates and the text capabilities which suggests, as I said in one of my earlier posts is that the developer makes sure there is at least one capability missing in each program. Put them all together and you have everything you need. Product looks good value per item but add them together to meet your needs and the cost increases significantly.

Having said that, my suite of ULead/Corel products does everything I want - just cost a bit more than I first thought it would
