CASSETTE.CDR COREL DRAW CASSETTE TAPE LINER TEMPLATE created by Peter Thies (71321,3363) This file contains information about the Corel Draw! cassette liner template entitled "CASSETTE.CDR" INTRODUCTION: Hello Music Fans! The enclosed file is a cassette tape liner template created using Corel Draw. The purpose is to provide you with an easy-to-use template from which you can create tape liner inserts for your cassettes. Corel Draw's use of over 100 fonts makes this an ideal and easy way to dress up your tape collection. This is a freeware product! Use liberally and feel free to distribute it. The only thing I ask is for feedback on how you like it. Also let me know if other folks like it as well. I also have a similar tape shell drawn with Lotus Freelance Plus. If you are interested in this as well, let me know. There are five main parts to the cassette template: 1. The shell: this is the basic template, and is drawn as a group of 43 objects. It consists of the liner outline, the ruled lines, the source boxes, date and dolby fields, and the "A" and "B" side boxes. 2. The text objects: There are two text objects, one for side A, and one for side B. To edit these, simply select one side, choose Edit Text (^T), delete the existing song titles, and type in the names of the songs on your tape. (this is one of the nice things about this template - Corel Draw lets you create many lines of text as one object). Once you have typed in the names of the songs on the side you have selected, you can change the font to your taste. I have chosen "None" as the spacing default, since it looks better on a cassette shell when a song title cannot fit on one line. 3. The Tape Title(s): These can be modified to be placed in any way on the tape label. Notice that the tape label is shorter in length than the rest of the tape liner. For TDK, Maxell, and SONY UX Pro tapes, the shorter tape label leaves room for the manufacturer's name to peek through. If you don't like this, simply stretch the ends of label to meet the sides of the rest of the liner. 4. The Source Icons: Located to the right of the tape liner, there are three icons - CD, cassette, and LP. Simply click on one and either drag it to the source box, or duplicate it and drag the duplicate to the source box. Notice that I have already placed CD icons into the source boxes, since both of these albums were recorded off the CD. 5. The Date and Dolby Text Fields: Simply click on the date of the particular side, and change the text of both the date and the version of Dolby used. EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CREATE A CASSETTE LINER QUICKLY 1. Save the file CASSETTE.CDR under a different name. 2. Edit the text objects on the A and B sides by clicking on one side, choosing EDIT TEXT (^T), deleting the existing names, and typing in new ones. Stretch the text to fit on the appropriate number of lines, if necessary. You can easily change other text attributes if you like. 3. Edit the Label Text using the same method in step 2. 4. Edit the date and dolby text using the same method in step 2. 5. Add source icons to the source boxes, if necessary, and then save your work - you're done! Simply cut the template out from the printed page, fold along the tape label line, and insert into your cassette shell. NOTE: Ok REAL Genesis fans, I know that theoretically both albums are too long to fit on one side of a 90 minute tape, but this is just for use as an illustration. Also, I was going to use "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", but there are too many songs (with long titles also) which would make the illustration difficult! ----------------end-of-author's-documentation--------------- Software Library Information: This disk copy provided as a service of The Public (Software) Library We are not the authors of this program, nor are we associated with the author in any way other than as a distributor of the program in accordance with the author's terms of distribution.
