# Using custom labels

You can change the label that appears next to a piece of information on a contact's card. For example, you might want to change "work" to "support" next to a phone number.

1. Select the contact that you want to change.
2. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
3. Click the label next to a field, then choose Custom from the pop-up menu.
4. Enter a new label for the field.

The new custom label appears on this contact's card only.

If you want to change a specific label on all cards in your Address Book, edit the card template. Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template. The Template pane also allows you to add other types of fields on contact cards, such as a nickname, job title, birthday, anniversary, and URL. Use the Add Field menu.
