Use Handy Address Book for my Christmas card labels

 

Background:

1. Just look in my start menu for "Handy Address Book"
2. It was a single license for $34.95
3. Here's the link to Handy Address Book.

Note:

You can use these steps both for printing the mailing labels and for printing our own return address labels, which are also backed up. I have one file with all our sending addresses, and another file containing over a hundred copies of our own return address.

The Steps:

1. Open Handy Address Book on my Windows computer 
2. Find the latest version of all the addresses
3. Make sure they are in the order you want them (alphabetically)
4. Click on Edit, Select All. Make sure all of them are really selected!
5. Open FILE-->Page Setup-->Label Style-->5161-->Yes to Print Delivery Point Barcode-->0.125" from left label edge
6. Click IMAGE. Find a small png or jpg that you like. Choose Image Alignment: Left. Click OK
7. Click LABEL-->Arial, Italic, 12, and choose a color. Click OK
8. While still in Page Setup, click Print, make sure Label is still selected, make sure number of copies is set to 1, and then Print to PDF instead of to the printer. Click OK. Give it a name
9. Now open the PDF from your hard drive and make sure it's correct. Inspect all the addresses. Make sure none are cut off and that everything looks right
10. Do a one sided print to print on plain paper, maybe at hi res, and then cut with scissors! 
11. Tape onto the envelopes
