Yes I have used those labels. MS Word or Publisher or just about any 
wordprocessor will do them. Word and Publisher are very easy to set up, 
you just put a ruler across the sheet and measure all the dimensions you 
need to enter (such as label size, margins, spacing etc etc)
I think even MS Works will do labels, though maybe only from a 
database...

The Avery or Arrow labels are better as they are a full size for a 3.5" 
disk, they have the bit that wraps around the top of the disk and keeps 
the dust/dirt out, a bit more expensive though, Blue Star's prices are 
much better than WOP for labels...

Post back and say what software you are using...
