Printing address labels from Address Book Group

[wcoats]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) I think I have properly created the label template, but can't import my address group from mac address book. From tools/mail merge manager/get list, mac address book is not shown as an option. Office address book is something else and not mine. How do I link to a Group in my Address Book?

Word cannot connect to Address Book. If you want to create labels using the
Mail Merge feature, you will have to import your contacts into the Office
Address Book (which is part of Entourage), or you could try to export your
Address Book data as a text or CSV file, which you could then use as a data
source. As far as I know, Address Book does not allow you to do this
directly, but there are a couple of AppleScripts out there that allow you to
do just that.

If you do not want to import the contacts into Entourage because a different
user uses it, you could simply create a new identity in Entourage simply for
this specific task and then delete it when you are done.
