Print one label from Address Book, by row or column?

OK, I select an address, go to print, select which label, Avery etc...
... then what?
It seems that unless I want row 1, column 1, I'm out of options - except to get Word to print it instead.
Am I really missing something, or can it not do this simple task?

I have the exact same question. I found a cool program called Imprint (http://www.ampersandbox.com/imprint/) that seamlessly solved this. However, as I then discovered, I was unable to register the software as they are no longer selling it. I've emailed them and am hoping they can help. Being able to choose what column and row to start printing at is a no-brainer!
Thanks,
Walter

  • Printing Mailing Labels from Address Book

    Stupid question, but one that is driving me crazy.
    How do you print a sheet of mailing labels from Address Book but when the entire sheet of labels is the SAME label?
    I can print labels successfully in address book, can select the label type and number, etc.
    However, when I select a single contact, I can't find a way to print up an entire sheet of labels (e.g. 14) of all the same contact - it only prints one label of the single contact.
    Please help! I know it must be a simple fix but can't find it anywhere to select as an option.

    OK, weird that this morning (one day after you posted this question) I had the same question. I just want to print some return address labels for my own company. While I haven't been able to find a software based way to do it, I did think up a workable (if a bit ridiculous) hack. Copy the address you want to fill the sheet of labels with however many times there are labels on the sheet and select those however many copies and click print! I created 30 copies of my own company's address in Address Book, selected them, and printed a sheet of labels without problem. A bit dumb, but it works!
    Hope that helps.

  • Print Mailing Labels from Address Book

    After following the convoluted rules for Address Book, I finally got my Leopard computer to print Mailing Labels with proper relationships displayed. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now this is all broken again.
    I read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3952 which describes the changes made to Snow Leopard, however for anyone who already put in a lot of work to get labels working correctly for Leopard (or Tiger), this is a major set back.
    Not only that, the Snow Leopard method for printing labels breaks so many other uses of Address Book. I will name a few:
    iPhone:
    I sync my address book with my iPhone. My buddy calls, now instead of "Bob Smith" displayed on my iPhone, I will see "Bob & Jean Smith" even though the call is from Bob's cell phone....all because I followed the new 10.6 rules to get proper labels printed by 'hacking' the first name field and changing "Bob" to "Bob & Jean".
    Mail:
    When I receive and email from Bob, instead of it saying "Bob Smith <[email protected]>" it will display: "Bob & Jean Smith <[email protected]>"
    I'm sure there are other examples of how this change will break other apps.
    Solution:
    Apple should add a Print option to Address Book with a backwards compatibility checkbox that will include relationships with matching addresses to support 10.4 - 10.5.8 address book printing usage.
    If you agree that Apple should add this Print option to add back support for relationship printing, add your voice to this thread, as well as post a bug report to Apple with similar contents.

    A vote here for a checkbox in preferences to "include related names," allowing for 10.5 style behavior.

  • 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 to Print on either Avery 8160 or 8250 labels from Address book

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to do Christmas Address Labels and I have my addresses in Address Book, and I have Avery Labels 8160 or 8250 (3 rows of 10, can't tell the difference between the two).
    I've created a group in Address Book that has all of the people who I want to send cards to.
    I highlight all of them go to Print, then change to labels, but Address Book shows only a 2 columns of 12. How do I change this to 3 columns of 10?
    If I can't do this from address book. I do have the new version of MS Office for Mac, but It's label wizard isn't very easy to use, I either get a whole bunch of junk, or one sheet of the same address.
    Any help would be nice since Christmas is the end of the week.

    If I only looked a bit further. There is a "layout" option once you open up the print dialogue. Thats where you select the correct type of avery label.

  • Printing avery labels in address book - margins not right

    I'm using Address Book to print out labels for my Christmas card envelopes.
    I've got Avery J8173 labels form Staples - 2 columns and 5 rows - 10 labels per A4 sheet.
    My 2 problems are:
    I can't print any more than 5 lines per address - no matter what font size I use - this is annoying with a good number of my addresses, but to get round it I put 2 address elements on one line in Address Book - not a big problem.
    The other problem is that the left margin of my addresses is barely 2 mm in from the left edge of the label. This doesn't look very professional. Any ideas? If I try to create a custom label I can indent the addresses in the left column by increasing the margin for the whole page, but I can't do anything about the margin in the right hand column
    Any ideas?
    I downloaded Avery DesignPro for Mac, but the labels I've got (J8173) aren't listed, and there are no labels in their list which match the dimensions I need. Bet the PC version is better ...

    Well it all boils down to the difference between the US and the UK versions of DesignPro. I hadn't realised that I'd downloaded the US version. I trashed this and all associated files and downloaded the UK version, which has all the necessary 'templates' including J8173. Annoyingly the UK version does not have the graphical elements included with the US version. UK Customer Support told me that they were 'working on it' though why that should be such a difficult job when the US version already has this feature is beyond me!
    I've still not fathomed why Address Book ...
    a) makes such a mess of printing these labels - margin way too close to left edge of label
    b) doesn't ley you print any more than 5 lines in an address, even when there's plenty of space
    c) doesn't let you include graphical elements on labels.
    Thanks, Apple for another bit of half-done software! I won't begin to mention how hard it is to print pictures from iPhoto formatted the way you want - that's for a different forum!

  • Any way to create labels from Address Book WHICH I CAN EDIT?

    I know how to print labels direct from Address Book but I need to be able to edit the labels before printing. Anyone know how to do that?

    I had to chose "Desktop" to be able to set 1920x1080. Not sure what Desktop means.
    Which raises the question of what the render codec will be. I'm trying AIC since it is more compressed than "422 uncompressed" yet can be 1920x1080.
    AIC works, BUT it is darker. HDV is also darker. DVCPRO HD is also darker.
    422 uncompressed and PhotoJPEG and Component are almost equal brightness. Both are slow.
    So one has a choice of slower than normal playback with correct image or full speed playback with dark image. Can't have darker because it screws-up CC.
    Also: The QUALITY parameter is critical for PhotJPEG, yet not only can't one define it one has no idea what Adobe has set it to.

  • Printing multiple envelopes from address book with Lion

    I am having trouble getting envelopes to print properly from Address Book in Lion.  I have specified size #10 envelopes.  When I print them, the text printed on successive envelopes moves further and further down the page until the address drops off of one envelope 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 Photosmart Premium printer.  I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to Lion, and all my settings are the same as they were prior to the upgrade.  I have seen that other users have the same problem on the forums, but there isn't a clear cut answer to how to solve the problem anywhere.  I also tried using the easy envelopes widget, and I still have the creeping further down the envelope problem.  HELP!!!

    It seems to be a bug in Lion. Try the solutions provided in other disucssions about changing print size and orientation. Create a custom size and save it. You should be able to test it by printing to pdf first to check it. That way you won't have to waste paper.

  • BACKUP only ONE group from address book

    One of my groups was accidently deleted from address book (I guess, anyway it is gone). I have a backup but I only want to restore that ONE group in the book. When I click on the backup file it says it will completely overwrite my address book. I don't want to do that.
    How can I retrieve just the one group (which has about 150 addresses in it)? I do not know which of the names in my ALL list should be in this group.

    The Address Book filing structure is similar to the filing structure used by iTunes.
    You can't place a song in a new or existing playlist group without the song being added to the primary iTunes database first and the same with Address Book contacts.
    As you know, deleting a contact from a Group or deleting the entire Group does not remove the Group contacts from the primary Address Book database.
    You can't import a Group only from an Address Book backup file.

  • Printing "child" names from Address Book on address labels

    When I put selected "child" names on Address Books entries and try to print address labels including the kid's names, they don't appear. Example: I add "Jim" as a child name to an Address Book entry for Mike Jones. I try to print the Address Label: Mike Jones and Jim. Jim will not print. "JI" will print. "Jimm" will print. Anybody else have this problem? What's going on?

    From another thread:
    If you have a spouse or child listed on contact card it will print them all on the mailing label IF the first name of each person is unique to your entire address book. For example, if the contact is John Brown and the spouse is listed as Susan Brown and the child is listed as Chester Brown, the expectation is that the label would print as:
    John, Susan and Chester Brown
    This assumes that there are no other contacts in your address book with the first name of Susan or Chester. However, if, for example, you have another person in your contact list named Susan (the last name could be anything), Address Book will print:
    John and Chester Brown
    This is because Address Book looks at all the first names in your contact list and if it sees a first name that is also listed in one of the spouse or child fields then it looks to see if the the other contact shares the same address as the contact you are trying to print. If the address is the same, then it prints properly on the label. If not, then it doesn't print on the label. So if you have two Susans - Susan Anderson and Susan Brown - Address book looks at the address on each card and determines that Susan Brown has the same address as the contact you are trying to print (John Brown) and therefore prints her name on the label.
    So, to make a long story short, if you want consistent and predictable results when printing your labels you should assign a unique card to each person that you want to appear on the label and make sure that the individual cards have the same address listed on each. So, in the above example, there would be a card for John Brown, a card for Susan Brown, and a card for Chester Brown. On John Brown's card, Susan Brown would be listed as spouse and Chester Brown would be listed as child. Print John Brown's card and you should get:
    John, Susan and Chester Brown
    Although this makes logical sense, it's not incredibly intuitive and not very well documented by Apple. I was hoping they would enhance Address Book in Leopard since this seems like a feature that a lot of people would use around this time of year. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case this time around.

  • 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!!!

  • TRYING TO PRINT ROLODEX CARDS FROM ADDRESS BOOK

    HELP PLEASE,
    I AM TRYING TO PRINT A LIST FORM ON AVERY 5386 ROLODEX CARDS AND I SIMPLY CAN NOT CONFIGURE THE SETTING TO WORK. I CAN GE THE MAILING LABELS PRINTED BUT NOT ALL THE LIST INFO I NEED. ANY IDEAS.

    I worked on this some more and figured out how to get my files into Word and hence onto the Rolodex cards:
    *under Preferences in Address Book choose Vcard, change to 2.1 and keep Western text
    *export chosen cards to desktop from File dropdown (remember to return your Preferences Vcard setting to 3.0)
    *Open Word
    *choose open document and import Vcard file, you get a long list which you will then have to modify (I put returns for the Begin Vcard text to seperate cards), choose the lines you want printed, format text, size, etc
    *following rolodex printer card instructions you can merge your formated data and print!
    Yay, finally. Why doesn't Apple allow this simple type of programability, even labels have been a chore for me.

  • Labels- How to populate labels from Address Book

    In OSX Address Book - how do I populate an Avery 5160 label sheet?  Also I'm looking for Christmas labels - any suggestions? I found nothing in Word.
    Thanks

    Open Contacts and select the contacts you want to print (Command A to select all or Command click to select multiple individuals), then File menu Print. In Style select Labels and in Layout select Avery Standard and 5160.
    For Christmas labels (and most other label printing) I use the Avery Design and Print software and import data to it from a spreadsheet file. You can download the Mac version of Avery Design and Print at http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Help-Center/General-Help/Avery-Design--Print.ht m

  • Printing Avery Cards From Address Book

    This topic was raised in 2006 and left unanswered and archived.
    My wife won't use Address Book ( computer-challenged-she can't even open Mail--so it's set up to start each morning), and insists on using small Avery Rotary Cards (#5385) for names/phone numbers.
    So, to make my life easier, I want to print out the Address Book on Avery Cards. I have followed instructions about selecting cards > printing labels/envelopes and I can get to the point of printing Avery labels, but #5385 isn't in the list as it's a card, and none of the previews show that any Avery label will include the telephone number, which is one of the main purposes of paper rotary cards in a rolodex.
    How can I do it? (iMac iSight G5 (PowerPC), OS 10.4.11, address book 4.0.6)
    thanks

    See if this Avery software (freeware) will do what you want.
