How to Export from Numbers 09 to Address Book or print mailing labels?

I need to know how to export contact information that is part of a Numbers sheet to Address Book and to be able to print mailing labels. I do not have to print from Address Book but do need to produce address labels. I've tried a number of things from the help menus in Numbers 09, Address Book, Word and Excel for MAC 2011. I probably just don't have a grasp fo what I'm supposed to do. Thanks much!

nushuz,
I can sympathize if you're having trouble following the directions. Address Book will reject what looks like a perfectly good CSV file if it doesn't like the data it finds inside.
Here's what I have found to be the best way to create a CSV from Numbers for Address Book import...
Drag an Address Book contact to a Blank Sheet in Numbers. That's a Sheet in which you have deleted the default table.
This will give you a properly formatted table for conversion to CSV, and you just have to add all your contact data to the table you just created. Before you begin though, it's a good idea to Unhide all Hidden Columns, and there are probably many. Hover over any Column Label and click the menu triangle, selecting "Unhide All Columns", or words to that effect.
After you have all your data situated in the table, Share > Export > CSV and then Import to Address Book.

  • Using address book to print mailing labels

    Hi all
    I am trying to print mailing labels using the addresses in my address book. In the past, I had a PC and was able to put in a title such as "The Smith Family" and it would be simply applied to all labels by exporting only the last name and of course the address. How do I do this using address book?
    Thanks so much for your tips.

    Here's a way to get somewhat similar behavior. Hopefully you can adjust it to get the best result.
    1 - Select a card that you want to print
    2 - Choose the Card > Add Field > Related Names menu item. If that menu item is grayed out, you can just press the Edit button
    3 - Find the related names fields in the card. They have default labels of "friend" and "assistant". Click on one of the labels and change it to "spouse"
    4 - In the field for the spouse label, type "Family" for example
    5 - Press Edit to close the editor and save the card, then print
    Now the envelope or label will be addressed "Bill Gates and Family".

  • How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels

    How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels ? I used to be able to do this but in Mavericks this ability seems to have gone away. Am I missing something ?

    Actually in my case it doesn't work. I used to be able to pull up the font window with it but the button merely flickers when I click it. The image selection button and font color both are functional. WEIRD. I don't think this is a Mavericks issue as I recall having it come up with one of my user profiles before installing. Now I can't make it happen with either of my user profiles.
    I don't seem to have printing issues in other applications. And I recently reset the fonts in a futile attempt to correct this.
    I may post a new topic in Mail Contacts and Calendar if there is no response here after a bit.

  • Exporting from Entourage to Address Book and iCal

    Dear All,
    I have a corrupt Entourage database which is making syncing to my iPhone through the Apple apps impossible. as such and with a huge leap of faith to mobileme I'm ditching Entourage.
    Anybody got any easy ways to export the contacts from Entourage to Address Book?
    On iCal I tried the import from Entourage feature but three weeks later (I kid not) it still hadn't completed so I'm giving up on calendar and that is probably a result of the corrupt database.
    Anyway, any help would be hugely appreciated!
    Cheers and happy new year,
    Paul.

    Like iCal Mail will import from Entourage. Just select that option from
    Mail's File menu, then click on the Entourage import option.

  • How do you import contacts if you didn't export from old OSX Address Book?

    I have a bootable backup of my old PowerBook's system, but I did not export the contacts into one of the formats needed for import. And the bootable backup will not boot my new PowerBook.
    I can find no method to import contacts after the fact.

    With the Address Book quit on your new PowerBook, locate the AddressBook folder on your backup of the old system which is located in your Home folder/directory at Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
    Copy the backup copy of the AddressBook folder and place the copy at Home > Library > Application Support on your new Mac. If there is an existing AddressBook folder within the Application Support folder on your new Mac, this will replace it.
    Launch Address Book on your new Mac and all Address Book contacts should be completely restored along with the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.

  • Adding email addresses from numbers to address book

    I am a high school coach and recently I had my players put their names and email addresses directly into my computer using numbers 08. My problem is that every time I try to drag them into my address book, it opens up Mail as if to send out an email. Please help! I can't even copy and paste because it automatically opens Mail. Thanks!

    Open your Numbers spreadsheet.
    Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the email address cell without clicking on it.
    Command+C (Same as Control + Click, and select Copy) to copy the contents of the cell.
    Open Address Book.
    Click Plus to add a new card.
    Command+V (same as Control + Click, and select Paste) to Paste the contents of the cell into the email address field.
    Back to Numbers, Copy the next email, back to Address Book, Plus to add card, Paste into the email field, and so on.
    Alternate idea: Depending on how many names you have to enter, just print the spreadsheet and find a fast, accurate typist, and put them to work entering info in Address Book.
    Using the shortcuts Command+C to copy and Command+V to paste, versus using the menus has literally saved me hours of time over the years!

  • How do I use Address Book to print multiple labels using just one address?

    Hi. I'm trying to print multiple address labels using the same address on each label, but I'm stuck trying to make this happen in Address Book. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    The work-around that I've found to solve this issue is to create a new group in address book, then duplicate the contact 20 times or so, and drag the duplicates to the group you've created. Then, when you go to print, you will have a sheet of 20 or so duplicate labels. If you want to save it to repeat this task later, you can select "save as PDF" in the print menu, and simply print the PDF file next time. (assuming you use the same size labels next time, of course) Then, don't forget to delete the umteen duplicates from address book, taking care not to delete the original.
    Not the perfect solution, but it gets the job done. Maybe somebody wants to make an automator action that will do this?

  • Exporting hotmail contacts to Address Book using numbers

    Hi, I've been reading some other topics on how to export your contacts to address book. Though these were helpful, I do not have microsoft excel. Is it possible to get my hotmail contacts to my address book using numbers or do I need excel.

    Hello,
    If you go into Entourage's preferences, you'll also find the option to "Synchronize" with Address book.
    The option is under the Entourage menu
    Choose Preferences
    Then, go to General, and choose Sync Services
    The option you need should be the first option in the list on the Sync Services screen.
    It should have a box to check located next to: "Synchronize Contacts with Address Book and .Mac".
    Give that a shot.
    I hope this helps.
    Let us know if you have other questions.
    P.S., if you'd like, go ahead and click the "Helpful" or "Solved" buttons on any of the posts / replies above if you feel they were helpful or adequately answered your question.

  • Importing From Filemaker to Address Book to iPod errors - Help Please

    I can export from Filemaker into Address book without any "obvious" problem.
    When I synch the iPod, or swap iSynch.vcf file, the records show up but the first/main screen only shows the First Last Name but the rest of the fields are way down below, causing you to have to scroll 5 times to see it.
    If I type in info into the address book it works fine. There is one single record that show up correctly, but that record is no different in the tab-delimited file (text tab text return)
    I have tried exporting with various formats and methods, excel, vCard Creator, etc. I am importing "data" not name address phone, per se, a cd collection. However, it is not two words in a single field, nor a field that can't take text or numbers. What type of delimiter problems are there in the iPod contacts? Would one records field that overflows it's space and expands cause all the other to "expand" or Push out as well. Are Thanks

    It's not so difficult. Export files in text (tab or comma). In the next field choose ASCII (DOS) in stead of MacIntosh. If you do so, it shouldn't be any problem with importing in Adressbook. Succes.

  • How to export from Address Book to Microsoft Outlook

    I am using a mail merge program that requires cvs or test files of address cards in order to operated. I can't figure out how to export from Address Book in any other format than Vcard. Does anybody know how to either export in text or covert Vcard files to text or CVS?

  • HT2486 How do I export a mailbox to address book from Mail

    How do I export a mailbox to address book from mail?

    Unless you are willing to continually do an export of one contacts database and import of the other, switching back and forth, you'll either need to use some third-party contacts application or maintain two separate user accounts in Mac OS X. The built-in Address Book/Contacts application does not allow multiple address books.

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • How to make an Excel file from Contacts in Address Book?

    I'd like to save the contents of my Address Book in an Excel file. How do I do it. Address Book doesn't seem to export to a common SS format.
    Thanks!

    Build an Automator workflow that gets the Contacts you want (like Get Selected Contacts), then add a Get Contact Info and select the items you want. Set the Export format to Spreadsheet (tabs).
    Then, add an action to create the new file (New Text Edit Document).
