ON the print menu I select LIst.   It is all beatiful the only problem is that it is sorted by Alphabetical Order and I want to manuelly sort it.   Prisident, vice preside...  Etc.....    How can I do This?   

Michael,
probably not a direct answer to your question but you might want to take a look at "Snail Mail" - it gives you a lot of additional options and features for printing envelopes from the Address Book:

  • Print Labels in Address Book - 'portrait/landscape' option?

    I need to print labels "sideways" due to custom label loading in my printer.
    I have tried setting up a custom label layout in Address Book. However, it consistently prints the labels such that the text is horizontal to the printer feed. I need it to print the text vertical to the printer feed, basically rotated 90º.
    If I wanted to rotate text printed from Pages or Word I would switch from portrait to landscape or vice-versa. Is there no way to do this in Address Book? Am I overlooking one of the custom settings? Thank you!

    Great news so far, thanks!

  • Printing labels from Address Book

    Hi there,
    I have tried to print labels from Address Book using the provided template within the application.
    The probem however, is that if I want to print a number of labels, say for myself, I can not seem to specify how may labels to print with a selected address.
    As well, if I print one label from the application, I do not see a way to tell the printer or the application to use the next field of the label sheets.
    Am I missing something completly obvious or is it an oversight in the Application?
    Thanks in advance

    Jim,
    I think I understand your question. Hopefully this will help you with at least one of your problems. In order to print out address labels for just your name and address, you'll have to duplicate your personal address card several times. I duplicated mine 29 more times so that I could print out 30 sticky labels. Here's what I'd suggest:
    1. Create a new group in the far left side of your Address Book window by clicking once on the "+" button found at the bottom of the Group column, and then title your new group something like "My Return Labels."
    2. Locate your main personal card in the "All" group, and then slide it (or add it) to your newly created group.
    3. Highlight your card from within your new "My Return Labels" group, copy and paste it about 29 times.
    4. Once done, make sure you have just your "My Return Labels" group highlighted, then go to your Print command.
    5. Choose the proper label style, and print away.
    Good luck, Grampa Doodie.

  • How do I print envelopes using Address Book?

    I am having trouble getting envelopes to print properly from Address Book in Lion.  I have specified size #10 envelpes.  When I print them, the text printed on successive envelopes moves further and further down the page until the address drops off of one envelop and is then printed at the top of the next envelope.  If I print to PDF, I see the same behavior.  I have an HP OfficeJet 7600 printer.
    Also, when I switched to size #9 envelopes without making any other changes, the envelopes were printed as though I had switched from portrait to landscape.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix these problems?  I am so disappointed because what looked like a really quick and easy way to print envelopes has now taken hours and I only have 3 remotely satisfactory envelopes printed and no hope of getting more other then to do them one by one.

    I have a similar problem too. I might be mistaken, but I think it creeped in when I "upgraded" to Lion and the foobarred the addressbook and who knows what else. It used to work just fine.
    I have had luck printing envelopes with the Ambrosia widget. Very nice and free, Give it a try.

    Firefox doesn't do email and doesn't have an "address book", it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

    Why doesn't apple have a file of events that ties to the iCal program and the Address book file? By having that relationship it seems that you could call up all of the events tied to a customer while in the address book or likewise call up all of the events tied to a contact that was in the iCal program as a scheduled meeting. Even in the to do's you could easily look back at the events tied to an individual so as to bring yourself up to speed with what you were doing with the individual in mind.

  • Mail's Add to Address Book inverts name order in Address Book

    Using Mail's 'Add to Address Book' function results in inverted first/last name order in Address Book: Under every combination of setting for 'show first name before/following last name' and 'sort by first/last name' in the AB prefs, using Mail's Add to Address Book on 'Bob Jones' results in 'Jones' in the first name field and 'Bob' in the last name field.
    Are others also seeing this? Any workarounds?

    Thanks for testing, Ernie. I double-checked my system using your settings and still saw the names in the wrong fields. Something must be off with my setup but I have no idea what it might be! If anyone can replicate this problem, maybe we can figure it out.

  • Problems with Custom Paper Size and Address Book

    I'm having some trouble printing from Address Book onto a custom paper size. I'm attempting to set up a notecard, and only print one at a time, rather than multiple columns as in the Labels option. The trouble is that when creating this small size, Address Book doesn't recognize it as anything other than a regular sheet of US Letter, and thus prints the address in the middle of the page.
    I have no problem printing envelopes, though, which seems odd because they too go in the manual feed for my printer. The notecards are similar width to the envelopes, but only about half the length.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with custom paper sizes printing improperly? I'm using an HP 4515 LaserJet, but have access to a few other laser printers. Thanks for any insight

    I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix.  I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade.  I print in Photoshop fine.
    If you found an answer, I would appreciate  knowing how to do it!
    Thanks

  • Problems printing envelopes from Address Book since Lion upgrade

    I've been printing envelopes to my HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-In-One printer from Address Book without any problems for years. I upgraded to Lion and now the first envelope is blank. Second one is okay but after that their print position slips little by little up the page until they become usless. I see on the forum that there are other people with different printers but the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi David and Everyone Who it Might Help
    I was having this problem too!  *Many* thanks to you! 
    I was having it with both a new brother and Epson printer. 
    I followed your advice and created a custom envelope and just to clarify for any future reader.  The "rotate 90 degrees" is changed under the "orientation" tab by simply selecting the layout with the picture sideways inside of straight up and down.
    Second, the size change you mentioned is for the "Height," naturally, not the Width.
    Many thanks!!!  Great find.

  • "Error while printing" error in Address Book

    When I attempt to print a list of address book contacts in Address Book.app (both as a PDF or to a printer), I receive an error message simply stating "Error while printing." I've repaired my permissions and tried deleting the preferences for Address Book. How can I fix this and print out the list?

    After discovering that my problem was more general (affecting the whole system, and not just Address Book), I looked in the Printer forum here in the discussions and referred to this one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1264657&#1264657
    I attempted to do as one user suggested and replace the 'libConverter.dylib' file. It did not work, and I returned the original 'libConverter.dylib' file to its folder. Magically, printing works now. Seems like it just needed to reset itself.

  • Change labels in print menu from address book

    I am trying to print invitation labels from my address book for a personal party. I would like to change the labels in the print menu to add "and guest" or "and family". I called Mac support but they couldn't help me. Does anyone know how to manipulate the the guest names in the print menu to make it "party friendly" versus "business version"? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Discussions Jenp13,
    NO, you can't edit any data in the print menu in OSX. There are several programs that you can use that will interface with or accept data from Address Book. From searching sites like Apple's Made4Mac page or checking out macupdate you can find many.
    PearLabelizer is free and Mail Factory and HomePrint Labels are other options that I came across. Most are able to d/l and try for free before purchase, so check out a few and make sure it fits your need before buying.

  • How to delete a custom field created in Address Book template?

    It is possible to create a new custom field name in any of the pop-up field categories in the preferences template for Address Book.
    But, once created, there does not seem to be a way to delete or edit the newly created custom field name. That doesn't make sense.
    Tell me that I am wrong, and then tell me how to delete or edit a custom field name. Thanks!!

    Thanks Pascal, I can change the viewed template field areas as you have described. My problem was with modification of the pop-up list entries: adding, deleting, and renaming user created custom field entries. I have since figured out how Address Book allows these functions; unfortunately, that specific information is not present in the Address Book help file.

  • Printing envelopes from address book

    I want to send out letters to family so I want to print envelopes out of my address book except the name comes up as the contact (first and last name) and then the spouse and all the children after the last name. Is there any way to change the display name on the envelope?

    I'm not sure if there's a way to change that within address book, but you could always use the free EasyEnvelopes dashboard widget to customize the text of an envelope.
