Hi Erik, In the old list archives, you can find Anne Robertson's detailed instructions on how to use the address book to print envelopes:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg45300.html (Re: Addressing envelopes with VoiceOver) If you read down that thread using the Safari access key shortcut for next post in thread, Control-N, you'll find my post on how to amend this to print out mailing labels instead of envelopes; it's basically done by changing your selection on the pop up button for "Style" on the print menu to "Mailing Labels" instead of "Envelopes". http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg45386.html Then, you VO-Right to the layout tab to set the size of envelope or labels. This can be done (in the case of labels) either by choosing a standard Avery Label product code from a pop up button, or by reading/ setting the corresponding size information. There's a custom option that allows you to input any size you like. You can also choose "Lists" for an option to print out selected address book fields (that you check) and customize personal lists. You don't need to use address book plug ins to print envelope templates, since that's already built into your Mac via the Address Book and Print commands. If you want to look over some address book plug ins you can try one of the sites (Hawk Wings) listed in the appendix of the "Take Control of AppleMail in Leopard" guide: http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/10/20/address-book-plugins/ Check the two linked pages. There are plug ins such as the one from Google that links to the Google maps site for directions. (I haven't tried these).
