This year I’m excited to add an improvement to my label-making instructions. That’s because you have to select all in the group before you ask it to print, but I forget that every … single … time. For example, you’ll create a group in Contacts called Holiday Cards, and then select print, choose your label type … and there will be only one label on the page. I did it this way because EVERY time I run through this procedure, I do certain steps the wrong way and have to back out and do it right. I get great feedback on how I explain all of the steps you will do wrong, how to back out of them and then do it right.

I created a tutorial for that a few years back and I reference it every year. I remember my friend Diane and me spending HOURS getting this to work each year.Ī few years ago Apple simplified everything by making it possible to print labels right from the Contacts application. Years ago it involved using Excel to organize the labels, exporting them to a csv file, and then using Word to do a mail merge to make the labels.

Some of my most popular tutorials over the years on have been the ones explaining how to make address labels during the holidays.
