Use Numbers to print Address Labels

I know Excel allows you to export a spreadsheet to print labels with, but being a die-hard Apple guy, there's no way I'm going to fork over that much money for a M$ product when I have a perfectly good spreadsheet app right here.
Does anyone know of a way to use a Numbers spreadsheet to print address labels? I have a list of names and addresses that I want to print on some postcards but I can't seem to find an option to do that.
Thanks

If I took time to build a script to do the trick it's because I undersatand that some users wish to be able to print labels from an other source than AddressBook.
But, given that, it's not because some users wish to have this feature available that the fact that it isn't is "inacceptable". Remember what is written in Apple Human Interface Guide.

Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
Apply the 80 Percent Solution
During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚Äîthat is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
It just seems that you doesn't fit in the 80%. Is it serious doctor ?

How can I include telephone numbers when printing address labels using Dymo Labelwriter Turbo 330?

I am able to pull info from Apple Address Book using the Dymo Labelwriter application, but I cannot seem to include telephone numbers. Does anyone know how to do this?

short answer
1 - NO
2 - It is up to apple to correct the issue and I have heard they will look at it. It doesn't hurt to call customer support both apple and dymo to let them know you are unhappy about this [it used to work fine in later versions of 10.3]. Also don't let them convince you that you must have installed the driver wrong or something. I have had the same problem on 3 different macs [one of which was brand new] with 2 different dymo label printers.

Can I use Page to print address labels

I switched to a mac and used to print labels for my homeade wine using print shop or word. I used avery self-adhesive lables and printed 8 of the same label on each page. Can Page be set up to do the same thing?

If you did that in a Word document try opening it in Pages.

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

CAB,
The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
Dimensions & Info
Length: 4.00000"          Height: 2.00000"
Top Margin: 0.50000"          Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
Left Margin: 0.18000"          Right Margin: 0.18000"
Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000"          Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.

Help...trying to print address labels from an excel document. I only need info from some of the columns. Using Avery labels.

Help...I'm trying to print address labels from an existing Excel document that opens fine in Numbers. I don't want to print everything from the spreadsheet. The Avery template and site were no help. Any suggestions?

If you do not need all the excel specific items you can just write it to a spreadsheet using the write to spreadsheet file vi's.
If you want to go the excel route you will have to use active x. you can see a lot of examples on the excel board under the breakpoint forum. please post a sample of how you want your data to look and I can maybe help explain what options you have. and also oyu do not necesarily need the report generation toolkit.

Hi @Macdog64,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that the image and address do not align "CENTERED" when printing on Avery Labels 8160 when using your HP Deskjet 6540. I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
Please see this guide, Formatting & Printing Tips, through the Avery website.
Otherwise, I would recommend contacting Avery Support. Help Center | Avery, as they may have some different software/drivers that you can use.
Best of luck!

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

Hi Isk8ter,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of Pages are you working with? I'm assuming '09 since you reference OS X 10.7.4 above.
I've included the link to the Pages User Manual for you below.
Page 253 starts the chapter on Printing, Shareing and Exporting your document.
Pages '09 User Manual
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA663/en_US/Pages09_UserGuide.pdf
Setting the Paper Size and Orientation
Before you print, you should make sure the paper size and orientation are set the way you want by opening the Page Setup dialog.
To set paper size and orientation:
1 Choose File > Page Setup.
2 In the Page Setup dialog, choose the printer you will use from the “Format for” popup
menu.
3 Choose a standard paper size from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
Also, see page 266 of the Pages User Manual for more specific instructions for creating a custom template for envelopes.
Hope this helps ...

Printing Address Label

I am wanting to print address labels for Christmas that only show the Husband, Wife and Last Name. ie. John and Mary Smith along with the address. IF I have the children's names shown in "Address Book" inside of John and Mary's contact information, the label prints out ALL of the childrens' names as well. ie. John and Mary Smith, Larry, Susan, Todd, Ann along with the address. How do I just print the husband and wife's name and address without all the children's names?

Tony Frank wrote:
I don't see what you mean "they don't print." The Other name IS printed when printing Labels, but in the form: John Smith and Mary.
Figured this one out - it will print AS LONG AS THE LAST NAME IS THE SAME. So "Test Case" and "Mister Test Case" as spouse works; Joe Smith and Kathy Harris as spouse does not. Apple apparently is supporting the patriarchy in that regard.
In any event duplicating a group is as easy as copy/paste.
Simply select the group in the Group column, Copy, then Paste. The group is copied with the original name "- Copy". Presto! All the cards are duplicated.
Right, but this does not eliminate the labor necessary to edit individual cards to correct for the problem noted above - the vast majority of my cards are not simple same-surname pairings, so most of them will have to be corrected by hand. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and do it knowing that it will be a one-time investment.

Trouble Printing Address Labels

I using the Canon Pixma MG 2120 printer.
I'm using Hallmark Card Studio 2012 with Avery 5160 trying to print a page of 30 address labels.
The Canon printer is making me print one label at a time even when I set it to print 30 labels.
My previous printer printed the 30 labels all at once.
Printing 1 label at a time is time consuming.
Do I have something set incorrectly? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hello Dawter.
Most Avery labels provide instructions or recommended "template" options to use when printing their labels. Please check to see if an information slip or sheet was included with your labels. This would give information on what label template to use.
If you continue to have difficulties, you may have to print the labels from a different program such as Microsoft Word.

Printing address labels via Address Book - last and first names mixed up

Trying to print mailing labels from Address Book. However in my list of 50 contacts, some labels are printed with the first name then last name, and others are printed with the last name then first name. It doesn't seem to matter if I switch the order of how it appears for each contact within address book, or set the Preferences in Address Book to have the first before the last name, some labels will still be printed with the last name first.
Any suggestions???

Something which worked for me was after adjusting the order of the first and last name (either using Preferences) or manually, I saved it, and then it seemed to print fine after that. So maybe saving it first before printing was the key.

HT201342 Can I print address labels from my contacts

I am trying to find a program so I can print home address labels into envelopes. Any help is appreciated!!

From where? On a Mac you can use Contadts to either print labels or print directly onto envelopes. Can't help if you're wanting to print from a mobile device, i.e. iPhone.

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.
