Can i change address book font?  and size?

can I change my address book font and font size?  operating system is OS 10.9

OK, I just answered my own question.  But since there have been so many questions on this forum over the years - about changing fonts/sizes/colors - I thought I would share what I learned with others.  Remember that I'm using OS 10.9 and Contacts 8.0. and this may not apply to older or future versions:
Whe you are in "Contacts," click on "File" and drop down to "print."  Click on "Print."
A printer page will come up.  On this page, look at the lower righthand quadrant.  You are given a choice to select either "layout" or "label."  Click on "label."  Now you will see, the bottom of that block, the word "Font."  Immediately following that word, you will read the name of the font that "Contacts" is pre-set for, which, in my case says "System Font Regualr-12.0."  To change this font, you now click on the button to the right that says "Set."  When you click on "set" a drop down menu will appear.  Voila!  From here you can choose your preferred typeface, color, and font size. 
Have fun. Glad I could help myself.  Hope this helps you!

  • Can I change Address Book's default setup?

    I want to import my entire address book database from Palm Desktop to Apple Address Book (only about 5,000 entries in total).
    I have several fields in the Palm Desktop database that don't match the Address Book default setup. In Address Book, I went to Card> Add Field> Edit Template but the changes I made there to the Template didn't actually seem to change anything in the actual Address Book display of addresses, even though I made several changes in the Edit Template function - it was as though the changes I made in the template editing function had no effect at all. The changes I made are still there when I revisit the Edit Template function but the additions and alterations don't show in the final address display.
    1. Where did my changes to that Template go in respect to the actual display of the addresses?
    2. Is there some way to apply my edited template to all the entries in Address Book in one fell swoop?
    3. If not, then why have the Edit Template function at all?
    I've done some trial runs using a tab-delimited file exported from Palm Desktop, which Address Book seems to import and work with happily... except for this inability to choose my edited template for the new entries - Address Book forces the new database into Address Book's own Template with none of my chosen changes. It's as though the template edit function is just for show but with no real functionality.
    I hope this is all making sense...
    This is an great time for me to make sweeping changes if necessary (if it is possible or if it helps) since I'm beginning a totally new database in Address Book from scratch.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Paul,
    I'm afraid you will loose some of your data that you can insert in your Palm when you transfer to AddressBook, but you can try to get in as much as possible. Especially the custom fields are much more flexible in Palm.
    But in the end, the full integration of AB in your Mail and Calender, backup to .Mac etc. may offset these drawbacks.
    When you set up a template, did you actually complete one address record?
    If not, you should.
    When you want to import to AB from a tab-delimited file, try this program
    Addressbook Importer, an excellent piece of freeware that will do this for you.
    In the top row before you import, make sure you have an address record that has all your customized fields completed in a way you know which field that is (you can do this in Palm, using the name A. AAA, address etc.)
    Now when you use the importer, you can make sure wich field goes where.
    Backup your Palm data well before you start experimenting. I wouldn't want to be the cause of you dropping 5000 records. Also, disable all syncing when you start. Once it works, make a backup from within the AB application. Then when all looks OK, you can start syncing using iSync instead of Hotsync.

  • Who changed Address Book SMS and Dial configuration settings ??

    Address Book suddenly stopped allowing me to SMS from my K610i mobile phone... Furtunately someone posted a fix where you can add the phone id string to the AddressBook application settings.
    Anyone know if there was there a recent update from Apple that changed some of the AddressBook application settings to disable this feature ?

    With Bluetooth on, if you look at Address Book's window you should see a bluetooth icon on the top bar, to the right of the drop-down menu icon that looks like a wee gear wheel. This bluetooth icon needs to be blue for SMS messaging. If it is grey, click it and see if anything interesting happens.

  • How can I import address books from Thunderbird to Mail?

    I had to use Thunderbird for all my Mail, because I cannot import about 10 different e-mail address lists with a total of about 300
    addresses (contacts) into the Mail application nor into the Contacts Application.  Every other e-mail application, and every server
    supports imports like this. 
    Apple appears to have no solution either.  On Apple Support site for Mail and Contacts, it says "Support temporarily not available"
    and said so for weeks.  I tried to import into Contacts, using Thunderbird address book files converted to ..Idif  format and Contacts
    imported them import without any fuzz.  The folders appeared in Contacts  as sub-folder the same name I had in the export files.
    After the import I quit both Mail and Contacts and restarted my MacbookAir, it runs on OS 10.8.5., Mail is version 6.6.
    I opened up Mail and the new sub-folders were listed in its Address Book window,  However when I clicked ao any of them, they
    would not open.    I opened the Contacts application, and the folders were still there but when I tried to open the they were empty.
    Is there a way to import those addresses, so they will show up?

    Thanks for trying to help but .mbox is used for mailboxes, not address lists (Contacts).
    I understand that Apple Mail and Contacts use .csv files for their lists, and I was able to
    import my first Contact List using that type of File, but then was only table to get the name
    the content of one List imported.
    Last thing I tried, I used my Webmail Server which can import all address books (Contacts) and
    export them across all sorts of different e-mail applications (they list about 10 different types)
    and yes, the only missing is Apple Mail.
    Looks like I am stuck with having to use Thunderbird, because I Mail will not import my
    Contacts.

  • Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions?

    Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions? All I want to do is change the font and size of a table or div.
    http://www.allgearinc.com/AG12SSWL-Swift.htm -One problem page

    If you want to change the fonts of the entire page then this code will do the trick:
    body {
        font-size: 16pt;
        color: silver;
         font-family: whatever, goes, here;
    If you want to change the fonts of ALL tables on a page then the code is something like this:
    table {
        font-size: 20pt;
        font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
        font-style: italic;
        font-weight: bold;
    what exactly do you want to change?  Can you be a bit specific so that Ben or Ken can give you the exact code and tell you about the short-hand method to write the code in one line.
    Have you bought a book on CSS yet?  If not, it is a good idea to get one as a reference.  Eric Meyer writes good books on CSS.

  • Can I change the Screen colour and font size?

    Can I change the screen colour and font size?

    Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
    Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

  • Can I link address book and numbers?

    I want to add addresses in Numbers, and thought to myself that it would be very handy if I could just link them to my address book. Even more perfect; if/when an address changes, the entry in Numbers should change as well (automatically if possible, but manually is ok as well. Is this possible?
    I tried to just click and drag an address into Numbers, but couldn't figure out how to choose which fields should or shouldn't be in Numbers. Let alone the linking...
    Thanks in advance,
    Joris

    Well, that's one way of course, and it may be that I have to do it that way, but it woudl save time and effort if I only had to change address book, without the extra steps.
    Maybe I just have to bite the bullet, buy database software and transfer everything into that.
    The plan was to have addresses, a summary of contracts, invoice details and calculations etc. all in a pages spreadsheet, but perhaps that's asking too much anyway.
    I don't understand what's the meaning of  "pages spreadsheet" but I guess that you may stop hoping for an automatic transefer of datas between AddressBook and Numbers.
    At best, what may be delivered is a script able to grab AddressBook contents and pass it in a Numbers table
    and a script able to create AddressBook records starting from a Numbers table but
    (1) it will not be easy to treat the problem of duplicates
    (2) several fields available in AddressBook can't be transferred to Numbers.

  • How to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file?

    hi!
    I’d like to change the font and size in the fillable field of an encrypted PDF file I-485 from www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485.pdf
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows XP. I firstly tried Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but the I-485 file requires password to be opened, which I don’t know.
    Then I tried to print it to a PDF file, and use the Typewriter tool to fill in the form. But got error message while printing it to PDF file:
    This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
    Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
    The I-485 file can be exported to unencrypted postscript file, but got the same error message while trying to open the ps file.
    I don’t know much about pdf file, can anyone please help?
    Thanks a lot!

    Ask the creator of the file for a unprotected version.

  • I am not satisfied with the font and size of print that I set. How do I change it?

    When I first set up Firefox on my desktop, I set the print size and font. I have found that it is too large and I really would like to change the font, also. I can't find a spot to do that. I might be looking right at it but don't realize it. Could you help me?

    I can't remember what I did when I set the font and size of articles that I printed from the pages on Firefox. I just know that I tried something a few months ago and have not been happy with the settings that I made. I can't find anywhere to change those settings and have tried so many things but they do not change the look of the pages I print when I click print. I tried to see if I could change the settings but all it does is change portrait or landscape and margins...nothing about fonts or sizes. I am getting so frustrated even though I love Firefox.

  • Change Font and Size of Graph Annotations

    Just learned a cool little trick from Christina Rogers about how to change the font and size of a graph annotation after I left a comment on her blog (if you are unsure how to create a graph annotation, check LabVIEW Help).
    With the Cursor Legend selected, use the Font Dropdown on the toolbar to select the font you want for the annotation. Apparently, annotation and cursor text on the graph inherit the font of the Cursor Legend. If you do not like how the Cursor Legend looks after you have changed the font, you can make it invisible again (I have never shown the cursor legend in final UI products... and I have never used "Hobo Std" in final UI products...).

  • How do you change the font and size in descriptions in iPhoto?

    When I add a description to a photo in a slide show, it appears in only one font size and one continuous line across the frame.  Is there any way to change the font and size?  Can the description be multiple short lines instead of one long one?

    You can't.  It's hard coded into the application.  You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

    Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

    It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
    font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
    Would you be willing to try version 31?

  • Font and size changes  in design view  don't appear

    I am using the trial version of Dreamweaver CS3 on my G5 Mac
    (Leopard), and whenever I make changes to the font and font size,
    it does not appear in the design- although the code is there (in
    both the css that I create or specific to the paragraph) and then
    it shows up when I save and go to browser. Is there some secret to
    making the changes viewable as they are being made rather than
    having to go to the browser every time before one can see them? It
    doesn't seem very practical to only be able to view them in a
    browser and not while you are making changes so you know if it is
    what you want... can someone please help me with this? I'd like to
    buy CS3, and use Dreamweaver, but it won't save me any time if I
    have to keep going back to the browser before I can see the changes
    I've made.

    How are you making the changes - using the properties box in
    CSS mode
    - or in an external style sheet.
