the software and create a blank project of that type when you start the program. So if you were
working on a DVD project the last time you ran the software, the next time it launches it will
create a blank DVD project for you to work on.

The Inquire about safety margins with printable discs checkbox:

When you're printing directly onto a printable disc, the label maker will pop up a dialog asking
whether or not you'd like to print with an extra one-millimeter safety margin around the label
and hole boundaries. This is handy while you're working out your printer's alignment, but once
you've got things locked in, you'll probably want to skip the safety margin and stop getting
asked about it. If you check the "don't ask again" box on the safety-margin dialog, the label
maker won't ask you on future print jobs whether or not you want to print with the extra margin;
it'll just assume you don't. Unchecking the "Inquire about safety margins with printable discs"
checkbox here serves the same purpose as checking the "don't ask again" box on the safety-
margins dialog.

The When changing a text object's shape to round buttons:

Lots of people think that if you display text within a round shape, the text will look goofy unless
it's centered. Others say that non-centered text within a round shape can add dash and spice
to an ordinary design, and can rouse people to rethink their placid assumptions about the
natural order of things, much like Stravinsky's Rites of Spring or the shower scene in Psycho.
For our part, we've tried to remain agnostic about this. To accommodate all sides of this raging
debate, we've added this set of buttons:

Always center the text: when you change a text object to have a round shape, the program will
automatically convert the text to centered justification.

Never center the text: when you change a text object to have a round shape, we'll just pretend
it never happened, at least from a text justification point of view.

Always ask me: when you change a text object to have a round shape, we'll ask you whether
or not you want us to center the text for you.
