having read about being able to print labels i gave it a go. but i cannot get it to work. i have created the card and it looks like those i have seen in a few tutorials, email/name etc. then when i go to print it opens up the options, one of which is a blank preview window, underneath it says no addresses. in the options under styles both mailing lists and envelopes stay blank.

it is probably something really obvious i have missed, it usually is. i need a little help please. thanks

Are these address labels or other labels?

it sounds like you're making these in Pages/Word/Neo?

Are you using Avery labels?

Sorry for all the questions

You don't really have to create anything, but you do have to select the addresses you want to print Before you go to print....Then you get all the options in there automatically; i.e. labels, envelope, addressbook etc...Just select the type of paper you want to print on and off you go...

thanks for the replies

i may have missed something here, but do i need to have done something else. is address book connected to something else, email? i only opened address book for the first time yesterday, i have had a mac for a few weeks. when i did the only things there were apple inc and my details.

if i click on my details then print, when i select mailing labels, envelopes or lists, the preview to the left is blank, but when i select pocket address book, under styles, i get an thin narrow preview with my name etc at the top.

i am a bit confused now. thanks

Well you need to have addresses in your address book to start off with...And in the dialog for printing them you select which field you want on the labels...

I'm getting confused now about what you don't get; I mean if you haven't filled in your work address and the label is set to print the work address then it won't show....

thanks

i have a couple of work addresses there, with name and email. under group it says all, then to the right under name are both cards. but when i select print there are none in the preview window, it says no addresses. it doesn't matter what i select in those options, the cards do not show up.

thats why i am a bit confused because i have followed a few online guides on how to do it. could i have changed a setting by mistake?

cheers

[dejongj]

No there are no settings to mess up....You need to have both those addresses select before you go to print....

The thing is, as you only have a name and email on the address card it would never show up trying to print a mailing label as you can post anything to an email address

If you have the address selected, select print and change from mailing label to list or address book you'll see them appear....

thats great, many thanks. i will give that a go, no wonder it was showing as a blank page.

thanks again
