I just had a look at the "Address Label" report and see that you can choose - Mailing addresses - Event addresses - Repository addresses or any combination Further, if you select Mailing addresses there are tick boxes to refine this selection to - Newsletter - Fam Association - Birthday - Research - Christmas - Holiday Each time you enter an address (using the house icon) you can select which one (or more) of these groups you want that address associated with. Just another of the many features of Legacy that we can choose to use or not.
