using and printing labels

Having trouble trying to make and print labels such a address labels. I understand how to print envelopes and business cards but not labels... must I create the format?... any help?

Download the free Avery label program and use that. There is a full set of every Label you can think of. The program has it's own tutorials.

It's even easier if you're using Pages or Word as Avery has templates for both. We print labels using the Avery template on Avery stock which we purchase at Staples or Office Depot.

You don't, in point of fact, even need to do any of the above (though you certainly can if you wish). Contacts can print labels directly, simply by selecting a group of addresses (I have a smart group called "Complete Addresses" for exactly this purpose), choosing to print, and specifying "Mailing Labels" for the "Style" pop-up button. Then simply choose the Avery number of the sheet you've chosen, and click OK.

Thanks to all who helped with the labels problem..
