While Address Book can print labels quite well, it's not so easy to address the label to a family such as, 'The Smith Family,' when the Contact's name field shows 'John Smith,' or even, 'John and Jane Smith.'

But if you want to use Address Book to generate a personalized holiday card, baby announcement or other address label list, there is a way to ensure it prints the way you want. For addressing families, simply edit the contact by adding a company name such as, 'The Smith Family.'

Also, be sure to check the box to display the company name instead of the first/last name. Now, whether its an individual, couple, or family, you'll be sure the label prints the way you want. You won't find this one, but for additional hints on printing labels with Mac OS X's Address Book application, type the keyword 'Printing,' in the Help search field.
