I share your pain. But here's what I've discovered -- it's not the program that's doing the cutting. It may, in fact, be your printer.

I experimented with a bunch of programs and finally I ended up designing a template of my own in Photoshop 7. I made sure that it fit into the constraints of a standard sheet of paper. But when I printed it, it still chopped the leading edge of the insert.

It turned out that my printer - a Lexmark 5150 All-in-One requires a small border at the top and bottom of a page. Or so it seems... I've even tried fooling into thinking it has legal paper which is much longer than 8 inchs. Still no dice. But you might try that.

My end solution is to print the insert on card stock on two seperate sheets. First I print the cover and spine. Then in a seperate print job, I print the back and spine. And I just overlap them underneath the DVD plastic cover and it's hard to notice that it isn't one full insert.
