Anne, I just followed your very detailed and concise directions for printing envelopes from the Contacts app and am very pleased with the results. It would have been a real tough one to figure out without your directions. I’ve put them into a message with a better subject line for archival purposes. Thanks again.
Envelope printing directions are below: Hello Phil, The step-by-step instructions are below my signature. For printing labels, select Labels instead of Envelopes in the Style popup menu. Cheers, Anne Use Contacts to address envelopes. Put required cards into a special group for the current task. • Put the selected card or cards into a new group; • Press Command-P to bring up the Print dialogue; • Navigate to the last visible item (VO-End) then go left twice. If you find Show Details button, click it; • Go to the first visible item (VO-Home) and navigate down to Style; • Go right to the pop up button; • Pop it and select "Envelopes" if it is not already saying "Envelopes"; • Navigate right to Layout and select it; • Navigate right past the other two tabs and click the button to the right of where it says "layout" again; • Navigate down the menu, past Save as, delete and so on, until you find either International envelopes or North American Envelopes submenu; • Select the appropriate envelope type; • Navigate right to see the exact dimensions of the envelope, the position and size of the recipient's address panel (how far from top, how far from left and how big); • Continue to navigate right, past the field telling you the number of addresses selected and the zoom slider and you'll find the position and size of the Sender address panel; • Use the Item Chooser menu to locate the Label tab and select it; • Navigate right to the checkbox "Print my address", clear this checkbox if you don't want your address to appear on the envelope; • Navigate right to the address category pop up button and select the one you want to send from (Home, Work, etc.); • Navigate right to the Addresses pop up button where you select the category of address for the recipient(s); • To the right again, you select the print order (alphabetical or Postal Code); • Continuing right, you can select to print your company name, the recipient's company name, both or neither; • To the right again, the same thing for country as for company; • To the right again, you select font colour (default black); • Now use the Item Chooser menu to select the Orientation tab; • The first checkbox to the right shows the printing to be perpendicular to the feed direction of the envelope, and the second checkbox shows it to be parallel; • You can now print your envelope. Fortunately, Contacts remembers the settings for next time! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
