Print labels for Christmas cards from all Contact cards

I want to print labels for Christmas cards from all Contacts. It looks like I can print only the active card. Don't see any way to print them all on a labels sheet from Avery

http://www.podfeet.com/blog/tutorials-5/how-to-create-address-labels-from-osx-co ntacts/

I need help entering ALL of my addresses for Christmas card address labels on my new iMac. Whats the best way to do this?

Anyone have any tips how to get started with address labels? I went to my address book, but it looks so time intensive. Can I mail merge addresses I put into a excell spread sheet to print labels??

Don't waste your time with formatting in any of those programs - creating two pages for cards, blah blah blah.
The best way to mail merge on a mac is using address book.
People think merging got harder, but apple made it easier - more intuitive. You don't merge mailing labels through a word processor - you do it through the program which houses the addresses. If the addresses aren't in address book yet, that's a snap.
First, go to your program/file with the addresses (pages, numbers, excel, etc.). I think it's easiest to use numbers.
make sure the column headings are set to Mac Address Book Standard Names - that way you won't have to spend too much time mapping them in address book. (if you're not sure what those are - open address book and just a view a card/record, or open pages or numbers and search in the help menu for the term "merge field names" and it will give you a list. They're pretty simple - things like "First Name" "Last Name" "Street Address" etc.
For christmas cards, I add an extra column under the heading "Note" and input "Christmas Card List" for every record.
Once your data is formatted with the correct column names, export the list to a csv file.
Open Address book in mac and import the list - make sure the columns match up with the correct fields.
It might ask if you want to overwrite or update - that's up to you.
If you know your christmas card list has the most recent address info, hit update.
Once the import is done it should take you to the front page for the address book in which you'll be given the choice to view Icloud addresses (if you sync those) and also the Last import. Any groups or smart groups you have will show up in the list too.
Click on Last import - make sure all the addresses and names you just imported are there. If not, something went wrong - go back and check your import field mapping. If all's good, keep rollin'. (it helps to scroll to the bottom of the import list to get the count of imported records)
Here, you can do one of two things - create a group or a smart group.
For a regular group - Highlight all the records on the right panel in your last import, then go to file > new group from selection. Rename your group christmas cards or something like that.
I prefer to create smart groups.
For that, goto file > new smart group. You'll come to a filter window. Click on the first drop down box and scroll to "Note." Then in the second drop down box choose "is" and in the third and final input box on the right, enter the text from the note column you created in the address list file. I used "Christmas Card List".
That will create a smart group, such that any time you enter a new address or contact in the address book with the note field that equals "christmas Card list" it will automatically be entered into this group.
Either way, you're only one step away from labels.
With that Christmas Card List selected in address book, go to print. When the print dialogue box opens, make sure to click on the button for show details toward the bottom left. That will open up your choices for style.
Under "Style" click on mailing labels.
Under "Layout" choose your label layout (i use avery 5160). It will show you a picture of the label and you can tell if it's the right one. You'll also notice the labels are being merged correctly, with one address per label, rather than one name for the entire page - like if you try to do this through pages.
Print away.
Hope that helps.

In Address Book, I would like to have a field "File As". So, l can list "Joe Smith", as "The Smith Family". I will use this when I print labels for Xmas cards and such. Thanks!

Labels for christmas cards.

Before downloading Lion OS I used appleworks to print lables with names and addresses on a sheet of 30. I used these for Christmas card
mailing. Is there any other program that will do this?

Will a different language font print OK on Christmas Cards?

Hi There,
I have a non-english font on my mac, which works perfectly fine in all applications. I was able to choose this font for my Christmas card design in iPhoto 9.1 and it shows properly on the screen.
My question is when the design goes to print, does the font get properly transcribed to print? I.e. does the card design turn into a PDF/JPG which makes the font issue irrelevant, as I'm sure Apple doesn't have the non-english font I use.
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Before ordering your card preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered card will match it.

Can you set up a smart group to send to all email addresses for each card?

So several of my contacts have more than one email address. I'd like to set up smart groups that send to all of the email addresses for each contact. Is there any way to do this? I've seen some topics that mention applescripts, but that required a bunch of prompts. I want to have smart groups that automatically include every email address. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Dan

A distribution list in Address book will only allow you to choose one email address per contact. There is no way to change that.
As you discovered, you can write an applescript that will send to all addresses in the contact. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it needed lots of prompts. There might have been prompts in the ones you saw because the user wanted to choose.

Printing addresses for day planner

Hi,
I want to print out an address book for my filofax address book and I am having a hard time figuring out how to do it. The program that filofax makes does not run on a mac.
any suggestions? I would like it doublesided and I want to be able to print at least six addresses on a page. I tried a palm pilot print out work around, but it doesn't work because you can only print four addresses on a page and that would make for a huge address book.
thanks in advance,
Katarina

Use a script
This fast one (5 minutes) inserts all dates for the coming year. Jan 1st is a friday, hence it starts with 'weekday = 5'.
var months = [ "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" ];
var length = [ 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 ];
var days = [ "Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" ];
count = 0;
day = 0;
month = 0;
weekday = 5;
str = "";
while (count < 365)
count++;
str += days[weekday]+", "+(day+1)+" "+months[month]+"\r";
day++;
if (day >= length[month])
day = 0;
month++;
if (month > 11)
month = 0;
weekday = (weekday+1) % 7;
app.selection[0].contents = str;
Copy, paste into a plain text editor (InDesign's own ESTK is good) and save as "writeWeekdays.jsx" in your Scripts folder. Create a new text frame, have it selected, then double-click the script.

Pages prints incorrect photos - Christmas cards hang in balance

Using a Pages with various photographs. In printing, it duplicates some of the pictures instead of printing different ones. Doesn't show on preview.
Help!

You might check to see if there are newer printer drivers available from the manufacturer of your printer. I believe some HP drivers displayed the behavior you describe.

Contacts - print address labels for a family instead of several individuals - i.e. "Smith Family" instead of Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith

Greetings
I'm trying to print out address labels for Christmas cards. Is there a way to print out one for an entire family instead of everyone separately as individuals? For instance, I have a separate entry for Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Jane Smith. I'd like to print out one label that is for "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" or "Smith Family."
Is there a way to do this? I suppose I could just do a company that is "Smith Family", but I'm trying to avoid that if possible.
Thanks!
John

I think you may want to export your contact list to Excel (or Google docs) or another format where you can edit the list (remove names, change fields, etc.).
Once you have a clean list that has all the names in a clean format that you want to print onto the labels then you import that spreadsheet or document into a program that has label making abilities and a mail merge feature.
What type of labels are you using?
There are several label programs out there that have mail merge capabilities and labeling support. I am happy to provide some recommendations once I understand your needs.

Can you print thicker envelopes (ones for holiday cards have are a little thicker paper stock)?

Have an HP C7200 AllPurpose Printer >> Can't seem to print to envelopes that are a little thicker in stock, such as for Christmas cards. I have the paper size set up correctly (5"x7"); but does not feed/print consistently or sometimes jams. I usually only put a few envelopes, maximum 5 at time. Any advice? Is there a place to specify thicker paper/envelope is being used? Couldn't find on the printer menu, or in Word Printer setting options.

Hi,
All printers (from any brand) can only support the thickness of paper (using weight) up to a limit. Using heavier paper than maximum supported weight on any printer, printer can not feed the paper or/and can jam the machine.
Regards.

Printing addresses on envelopes

Want to print addresses on half-card envelopes. Set the program for 8.25x5.75 inches. Insert envelope on right side of printer tray. Snug it in. Click on "print." Get a message that says paper size or type is incorrect. Go to devices/printers>select HP>select printer actions>view, pause, or cancel>printing defaults>features>resizing options>custom>set size. Will not let me click on OK. Other than buying a printer from someone else, how do I address my Christmas cards. Please do not suggest writing. Mine is so bad, I can't read it.

I have a HP Photosmart C6280 All-In-One and am also having the same problems. I didn't have these problems before I got Windows 7. However, I have discovered that after I have set my envelope size (custom or whatever) , I then go to "properties" and select "fast and economical printing" and it prints it out correctly! Hope this solution works for you too!

Need help Printing Address labels from Address Book

I have a new iMac using OS X.4 1. I want to print address labels for Christmas cards. 2. I want to print several address labels of the same information for return address labels. I can't seem to figure it out. I've read the Help. I don't see where to put the # of labels per page. I created a Directory with only one name it it (so it would print several times on one page.) I selected Avery Standard - label 5162. Under label I selected Distribution List. I seem to be missing something.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I wanted to do the same thing. The only way I was able to do this was to create a new group, then enter my name and address 30 times (the number of labels per sheet on Avery 8160). Then I was able to print as many sheets as I wanted. The bad news is you have to enter 30 times, the good news is once you done it you can print as many labels as you need. good luck
