Print Avery address labels

You can print Avery address labels using two programs - E-Z Contact Book and Avery software. This can be done in 3 steps:

I. Create a Tag for the mailing list in E-Z Contact Book
II. Export contacts from E-Z Contact Book
III. Design and print labels using 'Avery Print Online'

I. Create a Tag for contacts mailing list

1. Create a new tag, for example "Mailing List".

2. Select the contacts you want to print the address labels for from your groups or even the main listing ALL CONTACTS by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking contacts one by one. You can also select several entries at once by selecting one and scrolling up or down arrow keys or mouse wheel, while holding Shift key.
3. Once the desired contacts are selected (highlighted), right click the mouse button and select 'Add/Remove Tag', then select the tag name from the submenu to assign this tag to all of the selected entries. See how to use tags in more details here.

4. Navigate to the Tags tab, and review the tag content to ensure you have everyone you want on your label printing list.
   • You can tag contacts from multiple groups
   • Don't use the same tag to both Business and Personal contacts; use two separate tags for each type. This is because Personal and Business addresses belong to different data fields.

II. Export contacts from E-Z Contact Book

1. Select the tag you created in section I.
2. Select all the contacts you want to print labels for (Ctrl + A to select all).
3. Click the button on the tool bar, and select 'Export Avery Mail List for selected contacts'.
4. Review the addresses in the following dialog, and filter them if necessary.
5. Click the Export button, and save the .CSV file anywhere you can easily find it.

Next, choose a suitable label template from Avery website. Avery offers wide variety of ready to use label templates, plus you can design your own custom template.
