Christmas Card List - Best way to create?

Another newbie question -- can't import old Xmas card list, Windows program too old and I will bite the bullet and retype into address book, but would prefer to use an application designed for this purpose. Then I could pick font & color, add clip art to an envelope, and track responses. Any ideas? Again, I don't mind entering the old addresses.

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.4.10), switched from 20 years of PC

What I did was to create a Group for the card list in Mail and just dragged the cards into the group (creating a few new ones along the way). A freeware program I use to print envelopes is called Snail Mail -- look for it on MacUpdate.com. It will print everything (or just selected items) in the Group. You can choose fonts, colors, etc. I think there is a feature which will allow you to place an image (like a company logo, etc.) which you might be able to use for clipart. I don't use that feature so I'm unsure. There are other Snail Mail-titled software packages on MacUpDate that appear to do what you want as far as tracking, but you'd have to look at those yourself. -- Happy holidays!

Thanks for the help - It was very easy to use a group and an app for envelopes -- I used easyenvelopes which worked well, except that each envelope address had to be defined separately. Will try snail mail next year. Again, thanks and happy holidays, Darillyn
