how would I address an ordinary envelope using textedit so that
the address prints in the middle of an ordinary long envelope?
A.R. The application you need is Address Book
• Put the selected card or cards into a new group;
• Press Command-P to bring up the Print dialogue;
• Navigate right until you find the checkbox "Expanding Print
Dialog" and check it;
• Navigate right until you reach the "Style" 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 International 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, Address Book remembers the settings for next time!
Cheers,
Anne
