Creating address labels of various sizes

I want to be able to create labels that fit standard blank labels that are produced by Avery. For example, a page of ten 2" X 4" white blank mailing labels can be filled out using the proper template layout that MS Word provides. Does anyone know how to do this with Pages?

You can do it in Address Book.
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.

Crystal Reports - Page Break/Create Address Labels

Problem description:
I am creating a letter writer function for a Windows application. The how-to documentation I have is not providing the necessary step(s) for showing one record per page. From what I have gathered there is a page break function, however, I have not been able to implement it. I have set up a Crystal report in a .Net 2008 (Visual Basic) application with a Section 5 (Page Footer) and need to break and start a new page at this point. One page per letter (record) for multiple letter distributions.
I also need specific instructions on how to create an address label maker for this application. So far I was able to include a Crystal Reports form set up specifically for address labels but not to make it work.
Since the application will be distributed this is not a machine specific issue.

Create address labels in Pages

How do I import an Avery address label template into Pages?

Thanks, Peter. That should work. I actually wound up following the advice from someone elsewhere on the forum who recommended I go to the Avery site for Design Pro. Worked pretty well for what I needed.

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,

How do I create address labels?

Hi:
Feeling stupid here. New to Pages and love it except for a few things. One of which is I cannot find a template for labels. Word had templates for all sorts of Avery labels and they were easy to create. Certainly Apple didn't leave this out of this great software. But I cannot find it. All I see are something about Axis - which causes great flashbacks to high school math.
Thanks for your help.

Here is what Address Book Help says about mailing labels:
===============
"Printing mailing labels
You can print sheets of mailing labels from your address book.
In the Address Book window, select your address book or a group in the Group column, or select the specific names in the Name column that you want to print.
Only contacts that have street addresses will be printed.
Choose File > Print.
Choose Mailing Labels from the Style pop-up menu.
Configure the other print options as you want, then click Print.
Click Layout and choose a type of label from the Page pop-up menus. If you choose Define Custom, you can specify how many labels to print on a page and set the page margins and the gutter space between labels.
Click Label and choose the type of address you want to use from the Addresses pop-up menu. Choose the order to print the labels using the "Print in" pop-up menu. You can add a small graphic to your mailing labels by clicking the image Set button. Change the font by clicking the font Set button.
If contacts in the group you selected have multiple addresses, you can choose which address to use for each contact. Click Cancel to close the Print dialog. Then choose Edit > Edit Distribution List and select the addresses you want to use.
You cannot print directly from network directories. To print address book information for contacts in network directories, drag the contacts to your personal address book."
=============
I just checked it out and you can choose an Avery type and also you can insert one of your images. I only tried it with JPEG, but other formats may work.
Good luck,
Walt

Wonky Address Labels ?

I am about to give up the idea of ever finding a native Mac OS application for addresses and just keep using the 10-year old Parsons Address Book Windows software that I currently run using Virtual PC. It may be clunky and it may be creaky but, by golly, I can almost always get it to do what I want. And I can’t say the same about Apple’s Address Book … or about any other Mac address book that I have found.
I have been trying to use Apple’s Address Book to print a decent address label for a week … off and on. And I have not been able to get the software to behave. All I want to do is to print spouses in a reasonable form; say “John and Mary Smith”, when they share the same surname or “John Smith and Mary Jones” if they do not. I would also like to be able to include their children … preferably on a second line, but on the same line as the parents, if necessary.
Apple’s Address Book seems to have a mind of it’s own; it prints pretty much whatever it wants on an address label. Sometimes spouses print correctly, sometimes not. One time it printed the father correctly but skipped the spouse and two children, while printing the third child as though she were the spouse. It even has tried to give me “John Smith and _______“ as an address label for an unmarried person.
I visited this forum several times and reviewed recent messages with similar topics. One related suggestion was to use Easy Envelopes at:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27679
This looks good for the primary person, but evidently will not help get the spouse or children on the label. Another suggestion was to ‘type’ both names (John and Mary) into the first name field for the primary person. This would work, but also does not handle children. Anyway, I am not about to do this for the 250 or so married persons in my database where all these entries have separate names for the spouses (not separate cards, but completed spouse fields).
So I decided to export the database, put it in Excel, and do some column merging to get a one-time solution to my label-printing problem. That didn’t work, either, but I will post my exporting problem in a separate message.
After all this, I searched, once again, for a Mac OS address book program. There are several out there, but none allow custom address labels or have reasonable import/export features.
Any suggestions for customizing and printing labels with Apple Address Book would be welcome.
I suppose I can continue to use my old Windows stuff on Virtual PC … even though opening VPC just to get to address book software seems like a bother …
C’mon, Apple. Fix your Address Book turkey!!

Yes, it's possible to create address labels in Pages from date in Numbers. A bit tedious though, because you will only get one Numbers record (row) per Pages page. To make a full sheet of address labels you would need to arrange your Numbers table to have multiple addresses per row in your table, as many as there are labels on your printed sheet. Then you have to create all the links.
My preference would be to print the labels from Numbers directly, by creating a table in the arrangement and size of your label sheet and programming it to reference the database that resides in another sheet and table in the same document.
The official solution is to import your address data into Address Book from Numbers and print the labels from Address Book. If I were to do this, I think I would make a new user account so that I could have an Address Book dedicated to this project.

Address Label Printing Problem

How can I create address labels for printing using Palm Desktop by Access Version 6.2.2?
I recently changed to Palm Desktop by Access Version 6.2.2 and can no longer print mailing labels as I could using an older Palm Desktop version (4.1.? I believe). I previously used Solution ID: 33579, Printing address labels from your Palm device's Contacts (mail merge), but now when I right-click on a highlighted list of records in Desktop 6.2.2, the option "Send to..." does not appear, so I cannot proceed to an Excel spreadsheet as I previously did.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

This is another of several features that Access decided wasn't necessary in Palm Desktop 6.2.2....
Why did you change to 6.2.2? It was designed for Vista users.

Need help creating return address labels

Which application do I use to create return address labels?

That's kind of a vague question.
Do you mean you just want to print a sheet of address labels? or you want to print entire envelopes with recipient and sender addresses intact?
If the former, then Address Book will happily print a sheet of address labels and has presets for many common label sizes (e.g. Avery and Dymo). If the latter then any word processing app such as Pages or Word can do that.

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.

Can I use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?

Is it possible to use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?
Thanks,
CF

I know one way, it is not elegant but it does work.
1. Open Thunderbird. (download here: https://www.mozilla.org/EN/thunderbird/)
2. Click on Address Book.
3. On the left in the new window is a list of your Address books and groups. Select the one you want.
Your addresses will appear to the right.
4. In Thunderbird / Tools select Export, and Save as "Comma Separated".
You can open that list of addresses in Excel or in FileMaker Pro. Mail merge proceeds from there.

Create a label template in Word Processing

I want to create several individual labels for labeling photograps on a wall.
I'd like to use some Avery gold labels I already have.
Is there any way to create a word processing document in a label format so that I can type different information on each label and then print it on Avery labels?
Thanks

There may well be a Word Processing solution, but I think the DataBase model best suits your needs. What you're trying to do (if I understand correctly) is create a standard layout in which standard types of text — Title, Artist, Size, Technical Details, Price—appear in the same position and style on each label, though with different content each time. That makes each label a DB record, and each info category a DB field.
In the DB module, once you create your fields ( I'd guess they'd all be Text fields) you would then use the Layout mode to design and format the size and placement to fit your label size and number of label columns per sheet. Spacing's a tad tricky, but quite do-able (print some samples first).
The DB module has the advantage of allowing for a growing base of records and many layouts, such as a one-line listing with columns for the various fields' data, or one with a special format for data entry. It also allows for many other fields in the one database (Purchaser's Name and Address, Photographer's Phone number) that you wouldn't want to print on the labels. When it's time for next year's exhibition you select all the relevant records—using a field for "Year Shown" perhaps—and print a new batch of labels. Label size changes? Just tweak the prototype record in Layout mode.
If this sounds daunting, there are standard address label layouts among the AW templates that you could use to see how it all works and perhaps adapt, either by "fibbing" the DB, say by filling in a Title where it has a Street Address field, or by—daringly—replacing or renaming the template's fields to suit.
But If you're determined on the WP approach the best method I can think of is to repeatedly cut and paste into prototype label WP frames duplicated and set up in a Draw document to align with your label sheet. The DB does all that for you.

HOW TO: Action to resize & center crop images of various sizes

Hello,
I've gotten a lot of help here over the years so I wanted to share an action I created. I needed to resize and automatically center crop images of various sizes for my company's website. For example: All images needed to be 900px x 460px 72dpi - and because input images were from many different sources, the dimensions were different for each image. It seemed straight forward at first (sort of) but I couldn't find a way of doing this without a script or some third party program - so I came up with the following action. Hope someone gets some use out of it.
Note: Change action as needed to suit your needs.
Resize and Center Crop (Auto)
Fit Image
     height: 900px
     width: 900px
     With Don't Enlarge
Canvas Size
     height: 460px
     vertical: center
     extension color: white
Image Size
     width: 900px
     resolution: 72 per inch
     with scale styles
     with constrain proportions
Save (optional)
     As: JPEG
     Quality: 12
     Scans: 5 (for web images)
This assumes that the images are at least horizontal, but if you have photoshop CC you can create a conditional action that will work with vertical and horizontal images. If you are square cropping, this action makes it a breeze. I also have an action that uses the same basic logic, but lets me manually move the crop box. The only real issue I have encountered is when the original image ratio is very narrow, which leads to some white space on the top and bottom (I'm working on updating the action to address this). But it has worked on about 95% of my images. Again, you will probably need to adjust all of the variables depending on what you are trying to do, but it should be possible with the same steps. And of course this can also be used to batch process.
Feel free to let me know if anyone comes up with improvements! Thanks

Hmm thanks Mylenium, I got that response a lot when I was searching before. But if you re-read above, I am explaining a method of doing it without a script. So it wasn't really a question, just a tip in case anyone else wanted to do the same.
