Question QUESTION: I'm trying to create a CD tray insert and cover in Pagemaker 6.5 using the pre-loaded template, but the cover crop marks make the document too small. How do I fix this short of recreating the whole thing? I'd like to just fix the pre-loaded template if possible. Thanks for your time.
ANSWER: Hi Mike,
Once you open a template, you can save it as a document and edit it as you would any other PageMaker document.
Hope this helps,

QUESTION: Hi again Glen,
I guess I didn't express the problem clearly (my fault). When I open the template, the crops are not in the correct place for the jewel case lid. If you cut to the crops, the liner falls out of the lid, they are almost 3/16" off both ways. I can't move the crops (I've tried several ways) and I wonder if I can move them by altering the "scripts" or is there a way I haven't yet tried. Thanks for your time, you are a great help to us who don't use Pagemaker real often.
Answer Hi Mike,
The crop marks are put on by PageMaker to match the document size. Once your template is open go to File>Document Setup and increase both dimensions by .1875 inches.
Sorry i can't be of more help, but our PC only has PageMaker 7 on it and I can't find the CD cover template.
Hope this helps,
