# Printing envelopes

Address Book makes it easy to print envelopes with names and addresses from your address book. You can print a single envelope, envelopes for selected names, or envelopes for all of your contacts.

1. Place envelopes in your printer and configure the printer for printing envelopes, if necessary.
2. In the Address Book window, select your address book or a group in the Group column, or select the specific names in the Name column for which you want to print envelopes.

   Only contacts that have street addresses will be printed.

3. Choose File > Print.
4. Choose Envelopes from the Style pop-up menu.
5. Configure the other print options as you want, then click Print.

Click Layout and choose the type of envelope you're using from the Layout pop-up menu. If you're using a special envelope, choose Define Custom from the Layout pop-up menu and specify the dimensions of the envelope.

Click Label to set a return address and other options. Select "Print my address" and choose an address from the pop-up menu to include a return address. Choose which addresses you want to print from the Addresses pop-up menu. With the other options you can choose the print order, select whether to print the country, choose the color of text to print on the envelope, select a picture to appear in the upper-left corner, and select the font to use.

Click Orientation and select the direction that your envelopes feed into the printer.

If contacts in the group you selected have multiple addresses, you can choose which address to use for each contact. Click Cancel to close the Print dialog. Then choose Edit > Edit Distribution List and select the addresses you want to use.

You cannot print directly from network directories. To print address book information for contacts in network directories, drag the contacts to your personal address book.
