Can I add a 4th line in Address Book labels?

I'm delighted to discover the excellent label printing feature in Address Book.

But I'm amazed that it only seems to be able to include 3 lines in the label printout...

Name,
Address,
City + State + Zip

Is there any way to include a 4th line in the label?
It seems such a sophisticated program that can add graphics and shrink the font size to fit the label size ought to include such a feature?

I see even Leopard does not include a 4 line feature.

Also, does anyone know the difference between the 3.1 vcard and the 2.0 vcard?

Thanks for any enlightenment...

Thanks SO much for your great advice! I downloaded Pearlabelizer (for free) and after spending some time figuring it out, I was able to print out my holiday labels WITH the company names included. It's too bad that Apple doesn't include this in address book. Hopefully they'll include it in the next version, otherwise I'll probably have to switch to another address program. I'm sure switching to another program will be a nightmare too since address book doesn't export to .csv.

Glad it worked out for you... I think it's just what Apple needs.

There is a 3rd party utility called AddressBookToCSV-1 that will export Address Book as a CSV list. Just Google it...

That's another thing Apple ought to include with Address Book, imho.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried addressbook2csv but it puts the entire address into just one field with the zip code in front of the city and state. I emailed the developer and he's going to update it. Did anyone else have this issue with the current version of addressbook2csv?
