# Printing pocket-sized address books

You can print a pocket-sized version of all or part of your address book, making it convenient to look up your contact information when you're away from your computer.

1. 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 that you want to print.
2. Choose File > Print.
3. Choose Pocket Address Book from the Style pop-up menu.
4. Configure the other print options as you want, then click Print.
5. Use the cut lines on the printed sheets to cut the individual pages of your pocket address book.

Use the Attributes options to select the fields you want to appear for each name in the address book.

Use the Flip Style option to choose between the indexed and compact formats.

Click the Set button to select the font you want to use.

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

Up to six pocket-sized pages fit on one 8.5” x 11” (US Letter) sheet of paper. If you chose an indexed-style address book, the page width is determined by the total number of contacts you are printing. Because the tabs are indented on each subsequent page, longer address books require wider pages. If you select too many contacts, Address Book may not be able to fit them in the pocket-sized book you have set up. Choose a larger paper size, choose compact style instead of index style, or reduce the number of contacts you are printing.

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.
