Forms from database for DVD

I've gone thru all the software that came with the forms to make slim jewel DVD
inserts and an image circle on the rear. Finally had to revert to Photoshop
that does the formatting and all, but once it does the print job, the
information is lost when I reuse the template.

I tried creating /downloading a slim jewel case template from office depot. It
loaded up into word just fine. Insert the image and phhhtttt. Format goes out
the window. from a 5 inch radius circle to a 3" x 2" oval. Can't move the image
or resize it.

I haven't tried ms access yet, but what I'd like to do is enter the text, add
an image to the template, and have a yes/no box to define if I've made an
insert for vcr xxx.

There's more than 200 VCR's I'm moving to DVD, so once I make it past the 1st
25 or so, it's going to come down to, have I converted this vcr yet or not ?
And the database would be the answer.

I am totally clueless with MS stuff. I can handle the basics if the helps
aren't buried too deep or too confusing on the F1 key.

I need a template that can keep the text [and image, not a necessity, though I
do know how to add an OLE object from PS into access] And output it into a
specially designed form.

Can I import the PSD template I made in PS into access ? That would be great ?

email address and I will send it to you.

Actually I've been at it all day attempting to create a template where I can
just print one record at a time.
It only has 3 fields
title: where I stick all the titles and stars having the worst trouble with
this field. Can't figure how to word wrap or enter on a new line when entering
all that stuff into the title box that 4.75 inches on a side.

image: the office depot labels include a stick on disk type label, so making a
disc label with an image works for me.

and label = yes/no

For the longest time I was stuck on why I couldn't get the template in a 8.5
inch area. Needed to setup the printer. It had an auto indent of 1 inch.
Sheesh..

The image is driving me insane also. When I go to OLE it fires up PS [1gig ram,
500 gigs HD, 4.3ghz P4] and takes anywhere from 5-25 minutes from the start of
the process till it returns to access. And always attempts to create a 22 meg
file when I'm importing a simple 320x240 image. Possibly 60 k total.
