How to start and create documents
Where Can I Find the License Code?
Owners of the download version of the program get the registration (license) code in the purchase confirmation e-mail.
Owners of the boxed version receive the code inside the product package. The code is printed on the back side of the CD envelope.
The license code you gave me isn't being accepted by my program. How can I register it?
Please carefully copy and paste your license code into the License dialog. Or, if you have the boxed edition, enter it manually — be attentive: don't use the 'O' character, type only the 0 (zero) digit in the license code. Please note that there should be no capital letter 'I' in the license code. But there may be the digit 1 (one).
Does Disc Cover have any templates?
Disc Cover has about 130 professionally designed templates. The template collection is separated into several categories. You can add your own templates to it.
My logo is an .eps file. How can I add it to my document?
You can simply drag and drop the logo file into Disc Cover. Or you can do the following: Save your logo as PDF from the application used for its creation (or other graphical package). Then, in Disc Cover, click the Insert > Image > From File menu to insert this PDF image into the document. The quality will not be lost.
Can I use text symbols as clipart?
You have discovered a new source of good-looking clipart! You can use symbols from the Mac OS X symbol fonts. Choose Edit > Special Characters (Cmd-Opt-T) in the menu. Toggle on the text editing mode in Disc Cover (Insert > Extended Text) and double-click on the symbol you would like to add.
