Hi Mark, The easy way to print out envelopes and address labels is to select entries from your address book and then use the print dialog to specify details about your formatting. This works in Lion, too, but you may need to navigate to the "Show Details" button and press it (VO-Space) after issuing your Command-P to print. Basically, the detailed view will give you access to pop up menu buttons that let you choose between printing envelops and mailing labels. You can further adjust these settings for custom-sized envelopes or particular mailing label sheets by modifying tabs for the layout, if you need to, but I think you'll find the default settings work for most of what you want to do.
I ran a Mail Archive search on "from:Esther address envelopes" and pulled up my post which links to the step-by-step instructions that Anne Robertson gave on the old (pre-2009) list. Here's my post: • Printing envelopes from the Address Book [was Re: Using Drag and Drop in VoiceOver]: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg30761.html You can read down the thread in Safari with the Control-N access key shortcut to read the next post, and use the Control-P access key shortcut to read the previous post in the thread. If you're using some other web browser, change the access key prefix from "Control" to make the appropriate combination (e.g. in Internet explorer, these become Alt-N and Alt-P). I'll also paste in the direct link to Anne's post in the old list if you don't want to read my comments about printing mailing labels: • Re: Addressing envelopes with Voiceover http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg45300.html I think this pretty much still works, although you don't have to use groups in Address Book unless you want to bulk process your envelope printing. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Mar 10, 2012, at 10:21 AM, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote: Happy weekend, listers. Just as it says, I've finally got a printer, and want to be able to print out envelopes and hopefully address labels. Prefs is unclear about this; is there a template somewhere, or what?
