need to print labels from a spreadsheet, like in the old days. Can't find where this is done. is it possible?
Mac OS X (10.5.8)
The basic procedure is:
1) Open Pages
2) Open an Envelope template from the Word Processing group
3) select the menu item "Edit > Mail Merge" to start the merge process
4) select whether to take merge data from a Numbers document or the address book
5) map how the fields in a contact map to the fields on the envelope by exposing the merge fields
6) merge to a new document for your review before printing
BE,
OK. If you get around to selecting a label type, I'd be willing to take a crack at some options for you. Numbers has no built-in capability such as you described.

That's what I was looking for Wayne, "mail merge"! I read the manual page you posted earlier and I'm going to make my own label template and do the mail merge process to print. Thanks!
Yeah, I thought of that too, but as awesome as Pages and Numbers I knew there still had to be a way to do it. Thanks guys!
Ember,
If you find that you would like to print to more than one label at a time, post back here and we can give you additional instructions.

Jerry,
I'm making a table right now and plan on sizing it up to match a sheet of labels with 30 per page, but any input on this would be great. Thanks.
Uh, yeah, I tried my table and it input the same address for each label.
So, problem solved?
Jerry
It would be Avery 5160's
Thanks.

Thanks Ted. I just discovered this and did it last week. Saved the day. It's how I'll do it from now on until an easier solution is developed by Apple.
The mail merge disapeared from the latest update!! Just when i set everything up and needed to print a lot of envelopes. Anyone got a different solution?
Go back to Ver 2 for this particular work. That's my suggestion. Maybe this will blow over. Or, maybe a third party solution will appear.
Jerry
I took someone's advice when I asked the same question and used the Avery.com tool and that's solved my problem.
That sounds like a great third party solution for labels. If the question involves printing directly on envelopes, it may not be so great. Have you checked this out?
Jerry
Try saving address as .csv, import as a new group in contact, then print the group directly into whatever label or envelope or card you want.
can i print mailing labels from numbers spreadsheet
