Adding a static line to mailing labels

I'm getting ready to send out a client mailing, and under the new postal regulations, I need to add "or current resident" to all my labels. Is there a way to do this in Address Book?

the only way to do that is to really add "or current resident" to all names in the address book. that's easy to do quickly with applescript but do you really want that stuff there? of course, you can also easily delete "or current resident" afterward.

Adding a line to the top of the mailing label

Hi,
I am a high school band teacher trying to send out letters to all of my students. I have the kids mailing addresses in Address book, as it doesn't appear I can do labels from Numbers or Pages. I used to do this with appleworks, but the school district has removed it from our machines.
Anyway... I need to put the line "To the parent or Guardian of" as the top line of the label... is there a real way to do this, or do I have to put that as the child's name, and then put their actual name in the company field... thereby accomplishing my task, but also making my iphone full of people named "To the parent or guardian of"?
Seems like a simple thing you should be able to do, but I can't find any way to edit it.
Thanks!

Labels & Addresses will let you customize the address in anyway you like. Furthermore, if you need to print multiple addresses, which seems to be the case here, merge printing will allow you to print addresses for multiple contacts. The program integrates with Address Book, so you can easily use contacts stored there.

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row prints right. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, preventing it from printing the rest of them correctly.

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row even prints correctly. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, so the rest of it will not print correctly.

There are several ways you can go about this.
1. Most labels come with Word templates or downloadable Word templates. Simply open those in Pages.
2. Make a table with extra cells for the thin spaces between the labels and skinny those down to match the spaces. ie You have big fat cells for the actually labels and thin narrow empty ones for the gaps.
3. Make a floating Text box the size of one label, format with dummy text just the way you like it.
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder text+
You can now drag and drop snippets of text, the addresses etc onto those and it will replace them matching the style of the existing text.
You duplicate that text box into position of the other labels by clicking on it with the command kety held down, then drag copy it up or across with the option and shift keys held down. Fine tune the positions with:
+Inspector > Metrics > Position+

Change field used for Mailing Labels

Hi. I am a new Mac user and I need help with mailing labels. When I print my labels, I want to use a custom field - Label Name - as the first line on the label, rather than the name of the contact. Is there a way to do this? For example, I might have a contact name of Joe Johnson, but I will have The Johnsons as his Label Name for sending holiday cards, etc. I don't want to change all my contact names to these appropriate label names. Is there a way to configure the mailing label to print the custom field rather than the first and last name? Thanks for your help.

I have this same complaint. Prior to Snow Leopard, there was a feature in Address Book that automatically combined the name on an address book entry with a related name (spouse). I used that feature and adjusted my Address Book so that it worked for me. Unfortunately Apple deleted the feature in Snow Leopard without giving a reason or a tenable workaround. See kb article #HT3952 for details.
I imagine the feature was deleted because it was somewhat surprising and confusing. Still it WAS a feature and there IS NO WORKAROUND. I investigated writing an AppleScript, but decided it probably couldn't be done. I ended up printed labels this year using a kludgey mail merge with Microsoft Word. A lot of work and still not fully satisfactory.
Apple, please add a feature to replace the old method!

Print Mailing Labels with company name?

I haven't been able to print mailing labels that include the individual's name fields AND company name field above the street address. Any advice? is this even possible?
J

S-
Thanks for the link- I looked into it and found that in case you've opted to include a company name but there is none for a particular contact, pearLabelizer seems to leave a blank space for that line, which isn't particularly great either. I'll keep playing around with it and let you know if it works.
Gracias,
J

Repeating same address in a Mailing Label Report

I have created a mailing label report that generates address labels from a database. I would like to pass a parameter to this report that would allow me to indicate how many occurances of each address is to be printed. For example my address file contains 10 unique addresses, I want to create 4 labels for each address. This would give me a total of 40 labels. (keeping the 4 like addresses together). not by printing the report 4 times.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Dale Nelson,
I found some information about Label Looping in Crystal. I never tried it but I think it would help you.
How to Create a Looping Label Report, Using CR9's Basic Syntax
1) Create a New Report using the Label Expert, utilizing the desired label size
2)
a) insert several fields into the label details section that will create many many details lines for the report: there will have to be   one details line for each label potentially created: these fields will not be shown in the label
b) the above fields can come from any table..in this sample report, the Customer ID field and the Order ID field are taken from Crystal's Xtreme sample database
3) The details section must have a numeric counter assigned to each record. If there is no database field that is a numeric counter, one will have to be created in the database (in this example, the numeric counter is the Customer ID)
4) create a parameter field in which the user is prompted to enter the # of labels they wish for each client/customer
insert this parameter onto the report header
5)
a) create a linking formula to insert on the details section of the main report. The formula will read something like:
        Shared x as number
        x = (x + 1/{?lblnum})
        formula = truncate(x)
b) if the client enters 6 as the number of labels they wish for each client, the above formula will be incremented by 1, for each 6 times the formula is calculated on the details sections...this ensures that the subreport is ran 6 times for each client and thus six labels are produced
6) Insert a Subreport that will contain the fields and structure of an address label
7) create a link to the subreport: from the Linking Formula (above) to the client ID (customer ID number field) in the subreport
8) blank main report details lines will now have to be suppressed. In the subreport create a formula @Null Check similar to:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar check;
if isnull({Customer.Customer Name}) then check := 6
Insert this formula on the subreport details section and suppress it
9) in the main report, go to format the details section and select the Suppression formula button. Insert a formula similar to:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar check;
check =6
the above two steps will ensure that main report details sections will be suppressed after the labels are printed
Notes:
> There will be one blank label printed at the end of the report.
> The order of the labels will be in the order specified by the database: if a different order is desired, this should be specified using a query or stored procedure at the database end
> A successful link is created between a manual running total [@link formula] and the subreport's Customer ID field. This link is possible as the [@link formula] formula is written in Basic Syntax, and hence is processed before the subreport link. This is not possible using earlier versions of Crystal, as the formula editor did not have the option to use Basic Syntax.

Raghavendra

How to print editable mailing labels from Address Book?

I am once again working on Holiday Mailing Labels (450 pple) and needing to export editable mailing labels from a smart group in my Address Book. but I can only print out non-editable pdf labels. Is there a way around this? Editable labels are vital!! Can I export my contacts to a file that can be imported into Microsoft Word Labels Mail Merge?

I have the same problem. After much searching for easy solutions, I just added a user account on my mac, and use the address book/contacts for the end of year mailings. This meant copying, manually, a lot of contacts! At the same time as they were entered the edits were made. I can make edits ongoing within these lists without changing the contacts in my personal user account. There oughta be a better way!!!

Random static lines on playback

I concur there are glitches in iMovie 6. It's very frustrating. I first thought it was a RAM problem, so I added more memory. It's definately made processing faster but that did not stop the glitches.
1. On playback of my movie I sporadically get those static lines in my pictures. It's very annoying. How do I get rid of them??!!
2. The audio in the transitions are distorted.
Please help. Thank you. I'm returning to iMovie 5 for now.

Try re-ripping the tracks using a different program.

Data Merge - Mailing label issue IDCS4

I created a simple template to create mailing labels using an Avery form. There are only 3 lines,
<<Name>>
<<Address1>>
<<Address2>>
I followed the instructions by connecting to the csv file and dragging the field names to the text box. I go to the "Create Merged Document" and adjusted the Multiple Record Layout so everything looks perfect. I click on the Preview Multiple Record Layout and everything is fine. No errors reported on the bottom left corner. I click the OK button to make the merged document and what is created is a mess. I get multiple pages (I only asked for one page, 30 records per page) with only one record printed per page. The alignment is all off and it looks nothing like the preview.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Jeffery,
I did most of that but not all. I will try what you said and see. For the short term, I did it in word and got it out. I use InDesign for all of my company doc's and I'd like to use it for this, if I can make it work. What is most confusing is that the Preview looked perfect. When I created the document it was completely hosed. Makes one wonder just what is Preview really doing.
Richard, thanks. Yea, I made a custom label as the caned ones did not have my form. Their wizard actually makes it pretty easy once you figure out how they are really placing it on a page. Word displays it goofy too though. If I have the "Indivisible" showing everything looks right. When you click it off, the last row of records show repeating in the footer area. It prints correct but it's preview is confusing too.
Is this really that hard to do? One would think so given both programs are WYSI_NOT_WYG.

Mailing Labels

How do I send out my Holiday Cards when my address book is full of individuals and I want to send out cards with mailing labels to "Mr & Mrs XXX" or to "The XXXXX Family"? Any tips on address book name formatting for mailings would be appreciated.

Thank you for your resonse. We ended up using the company address line to reflect "The XXX Family" and printed addresses with only company neame included. This worked fine and did not require purchasing new software.

HP LaserJet P1006 - Won't print mailing labels

I just got a new computer at work and it won't print my mailing labels. If I create a word document and print, it will print on the label paper, but if the document is a label template, I keep getting a pop-up telling me to insert the correct paper and hit "go". On my old computer I would get this warning, but when I hit "go" it would proceed to print. Now, the printer blinks red (like the job is pending), and then the pop-up comes up again telling me to insert the correct paper again. I have attempted to change the settings in Properties to automatically expect label paper, but I keep getting the same warnings. Please help! I need to resolve this issue because my coworkers will eventually have this same problem as they have all gotten new computers too.
Thanks!

Hi there!
Thanks for your reply with all of your troubleshooting efforts!
I have looked into the mailing label printing some more and I would suggest posting the issue on the Avery Help Center to see if they can provide a better answer. We've determined the printer will still print, so I do believe the problem is within printing the mailing labels.
Here is a link for you: Avery Help Center

Where do I find the Style pop-up menu so I can choose mailing labels?

I've set out below the Help item for printing mailing labels from Address Book but I don't get any Style option with my printer which is a reasonably up to date HP 1200 Laser. Have I got the settings wrong somewhere
To print mailing labels:
Select All or a group in the Group column, or select specific contacts in the Name column.
If contacts in the group you selected have multiple addresses, you can choose which address to use for each contact.
Selecting addresses for group members
Choose File > Print.
Choose Mailing Labels from the Style pop-up menu, and then set other options:
Layout: Choose a type of label from the Page pop-up menus. Select Define Custom to set the page margins and the gutter space between labels, and to specify how many labels to print on a page.
Label: Choose which addresses to use from the Addresses pop-up menu. Choose the order in which to print the labels using the “Print in” pop-up menu. Add a small graphic to the labels by clicking the Image Set button; change the font by clicking the Font Set button.
Click Print.

Assuming you are in Address Book, you choose the records you want to print and then the File/Print menu selection.
If the printer menu comes up with only the name of the printer and "Presets" dropdown choices, you click on the arrow to the right of the printer name to expand the print menu. Make sure the box below the pages to print is showing "Address Book" and you will see the "Style" below it.
