Is there a way to make address labels using iWork?

I think address Book will print primitive ones directly if you have addresses entered. Print to the equivalent Avery label size and it does it all.

Is there a way to create address labels using data from a Numbers document?

I'd like to print mailing labels for holiday cards and my wife created the list in a Numbers spreadsheet.
Is there any way to export to Pages or some other label printing application?
Thanks.

Righty-ho. This is based on a spreadsheet like this with named columns in Numbers 3.5. (The rows must be consecutive - the script moves on as soon as it sees an empty row):
With the spreadsheet open, run the following AppleScript. It will create a group called Christmas List in Contacts, and then import the name and address data from the spreadsheet, adding each person to the group:
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to tell active sheet to tell table 1
set all_contacts to {}
set row_count to count rows
repeat with each_row from 2 to row_count
set nu_contact to {}
set first_name to value of cell each_row of column "First"
if first_name is missing value then exit repeat
copy first_name to end of nu_contact
copy (value of cell each_row of column "Last") to end of nu_contact
copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address1") to end of nu_contact
copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address2") to end of nu_contact
copy nu_contact to end of all_contacts
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Contacts"
set group_exists to (every group whose name is "Christmas List")
if the result is {} then
make new group at end of groups
set name of the result to "Christmas List"
save
end if
repeat with each_contact in all_contacts
activate
set nu_person to (make new person with properties {first name:item 1 of each_contact, last name:item 2 of each_contact})
save
make new address at end of addresses of nu_person with properties {street:item 3 of each_contact, city:item 4 of each_contact}
save
add nu_person to group "Christmas List"
save
end repeat
end tell
Contacts will look like this:
With the Christmas List group selected in Contacts, go to the Print menu and choose the label format you want:
Once the labels are printed, select all the names in the Christmas List Group and press the delete key:
Click the middle "Delete" button and the contacts will be gone.You can then delete the Christmas List group itself.
This can also be done in Numbers 09, but the script would have to be modified slightly.
Hope it helps,

Is it secure to have the pulic open a resource guide in Adobe Reader? Or is there a way to make sure anyone using the link to the guide is secure?

Is it secure to have the public open a resource guide in an Adobe Reader PDF? Or is there a way to make sure anyone using the link to the guide is protected?
Not sure how to find an answer to this.
Thanks, GM

I am trying to post a 123 page resource guide online for the public to access through the website of a non profit. The guide has a lot of web links for to use for more information. But there have been clickability issues when using some browsers to download the PDF and so I would prefer to suggest that they try to download the resource into Adobe Reader before using. I want to make sure that this would securely safe for readers and users.
Sorry I was not clear in my original question and thank you for your kind attention.
Thank you again,

Is there a way to make addresses in an email list blind recipients?

I'm making a list in my address book and I'd like the emails to go out addressed to each individual on the list without any other names showing. Is this possible?

Short answer No.
BCC is a feature of the addressing of the email, not the address book. So you can BCC the list, but you can not specify the list as only available to the BCC field of an email.

Is there an easy way to print address labels or multiple envelopes from a group in the Address Book contacts?

What is the best way to make address labels from a group in my Address Book?
Or can I print multiple envelopes - for an entire "group" of addressees?

Hi,
I am doing the same thing too. I have to call my reports thru menu. I tried web.show_document in my menu and it works. I also added paramform=yes and it gives the report parameters, but I want to give the user the choice of format for the reports. eg. pdf, html, excel, etc. instead of hardcoding it.
Could you please give me some idea on how can I do that??
Thanks.

How can I make address labels, preferably matching Avery sizes, in Pages please?

How can I make address labels, preferably matching Avery sizes, in Pages please? Please don't tell me there is no labels facility!!

If you have your addresses set up in Address Book, the logical place for them, that is also the logical place to print them from.
Pages will only use one data set per page, although there are ways around this. But then that wasn't your question.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes

Pages: Is there a way to make lines independent, like a real word processor

There are so many things that infuriate me about Pages. Save As.. missing, autosave, etc which are NOT like 99% of other apps on the Mac.
Specifially (today):
I have a letter in Pages. It’s a standard business letter you have see 1m times.
After the first line of the address, at the top of the letter, I insert a carriage return and BINGO, the tabs in the middle of the letter are suddenly all messed up.
Grrrrrr.
Is there a way to make lines independent in Pages? I have this crazy belief that letters are not Web Pages, not HTML, and that an extra line somewhere should not reformat following lines way down the page.
Alternately, is there some 3rd party word processor that works like the old Apple Works, with graphics and tables you can recommend?
Thanks

Save As is still there, hold down the option key as you go to the File menu. This is not Pages, it is Mountain Lion.

Then you are doing something wrong, probably pounding away at spaces, tabs and returns to position things. Turn on invisibles to see what is going on:
Menu > View > Show Invisibles
If you have strings of tabs, spaces and returns that is the problem.

Yes, hit the return key. Like every other Word Processing program.

Time to learn Pages. AppleWorks is dead. Stop pining for it. This is a case of user error and instead of blaming Pages, it would pay to find out what you have done and stop doing that.
Pages, except for the fancy DTP features, tables and charts works like most other Word Processing apps. Just a case of learning new tricks. My guess is you have other stuff going on.

Is there a way to make the Form Wizard group things in the order I want it to?

I am creating a multi-page checklist. Each question has a radio button with the possible answers of yes, no or n/a. When I run the Form Wizard, it detects the boxes I created, in Word using the Developer, but it puts all the yes's in a group, all the no's in a group and leaves the n/a's out. Is there a way to make it so when the Form Wizard creates the radio buttons, it puts a yes, no and n/a in one group? I don't want to have to create a sepearte group for each question. These checklists are long and there are hundreds of questions.

The auto field detection feature is designed to look for Yes/No text labels next to each radio button group -- not specifically n/a. Do you have a group label to the left or above each group? This is how each group is determined -- if it's not there they'll default to check boxes. For more detail on how the auto field detection feature works, check out the tutorial Designing Forms for auto field detection. Also, there were a few improvements in the 9.2 release, so make sure you're using this point release or later.

How do you make address labels in Lion?

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to make address labels or envelope labels from my address book? I have done this before, but I recently upgraded my macbook pro to Lion, and now I can't figure it out! I spent hours yesterday trying everything I could think of, but no luck. I have tried using Pages, but still nothing! Can anyone help me?

Did you have an address list defined in your address book last year? If so, you should be able to access it in the new Address Book by clicking on "View" and "Groups" and then (hopefully) your previous list will be there. If it is, just select it and then go to Print. Under "Style" choose "Mailing Labels." Select Layout on the tab next to Labels, and then select the type of labels; then click Labels. Choose from the drop-down menu on the order --I think the default is postal code order. Choose whether or not to print the country. This should work!
If you did not have a Group defined previously, you can go to File and New Group to create one.

How to make address labels on the pro

how do i make address labels on the mac pro

You need a database type software like the free LibreOffice which when you go to print, can select the standard Avery label format.
You can buy the Avery labels you want in a office supply store, it should have a number or "compliant with Avery 6750" for instance.
When you go to print your database, it will put the information you want into the correct label format when you go to print. So you select "Avery 6750" as your "paper option" instead of legal, letter etc.
You place the labels paper side down in the printer, top facing in and click print on the computer and the labels are printed.
LibreOffice Database has the option of taking your Address book contents and importing it.
Under the File > Wizard > Address Data Source.
That's all I can help you with there. I haven't used LibreOffice to print out labels, so I don't know for sure if that capaicity is there or not, but it's a standard office practice for Office type software to do.
It is possible to manually create your own layout, but you have to print over and over until you get all the text right over each label.

How to make address labels to print

I'm trying to create labels to use on the back of photos. I am using Avery 18160 style labels to print on.
Thank you.

What are you trying ask exactly? Avery 18160 is listed as inkjet labels so obviously you need an inkjet printer. Then you use whatever software you want that has label templates. For example, Microsoft Word or iWorks Pages. Those aren't the only way to make lables, but are the most common.

Is there any way to make Mail forget previous search terms?

When I search for a mail starting with say, the letters 'and' it finds every email to, from or whatever associated with those three letters. However, it includes, in the cases of to or from, old email addresses that are no longer in 'Contacts' and or have bad memories for me. Is there any way to make 'Mail' forget those email addresses completely?
This is not or does not seem to be the same as removing an email address from the previous recipient list.
Thanks.

Hmm. This removes the recipient only in such a way that when I type the first 3 letters of an address in a new email, that particular recipient does not appear.
However, if the same first three letters of the addressee's name are typed in the Mail search function, the previous recipient's email address is still offered as an option. So I am afraid this does not help.
Removing a previous recipient's email address is apparently not the same as making the Mail application forget a particular email address.

Is this to reduce the clutter of suggestions on the address bar, or for some other reason?
You can change the address bar drop-down so it only suggest bookmarked sites instead of everything in your history. This article describes how to make that change: [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]] (see the section "How can I control what results the location bar shows me?").
Am I on the right track?
(I'm avoiding the really hard question of how to selectively cull your history. I can't think of a way to do that.)

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.
