pearLabelizer - FAQs |
How do I define which fields of AddressBook are being imported?
Simply open the Preferences window, click on the Address Book tab and select the keywords you want. Click Done to close the Preferences window and activate the new setting.
How can I specify a default font for my AddressBook contacts?
Open the Preferences window, click on the AddressBook tab, then select the keywords and format them via the Format menu. Finally click Done to close the Preferences window and activate the new setting.
Can I use keywords not specified in the pulldown menu?
Unfortunately pearLabelizer currently only supports the keywords contained in the pulldown menu. So I hate to admit, but the answer is no for the moment.
How does pearLabelizer decide which address of a person to print?
If you are printing addresses from AddressBook groups via the AddressBook Printing option pearLabelizer selects the address that is specified in the distribution list of the particular group (see the AddressBook Edit menu and select Edit Distribution List to change the address).
When importing individual addresses via drag & drop pearLablizer uses the primary address (the one specified first).
When I drag&drop an AddressBook group, no labels are selected and no text appears. What's going on?
Don't panic. This is just like it is intended to be. When you drop one or more AddressBook groups the AddressBook Printing drawer is opened with the dropped groups already selected. Now just select the labels on which you would like the addresses to be printed on, select the template and hit Print.
The label sheets I want to use are not listed, what can I do?
Well, you can either check out and see if they are contained in the optional label package (then you can import them i.e. via drag & drop on the Preferences window) or define them on your own. How to do this exactly is specified here.
Does pearLabelizer support pictures?
Sorry, not at the moment. pearLabelizer was intended to be an easy to use address label printing utility and adding pictures support would also add a lot more complexity - just think of all the options one would expect when placing pictures, maybe even scale them, specify how text wrapping should be handled and so on. You see, quite a lot of decisions to make for a simple utility - it just doesn't fit into the concept. But then, there are lots of other label printing utilities exactly for this purpose.
When I choose a Smart Group for Address Book Printing my distribution list is not respected, what's wrong?
It seems that Tiger's Address Book does not support distribution lists for Smart Groups (sure, you can edit distribution lists for Smart Groups, but Address Book doesn't seem to care to much about this information yet). Let's hope for an update...
pearLabelizer automatically strips a space after a keyword if a record contains no value, and even removes a resulting empty line if no values are in the record - how can I avoid this?
This behavior is actually an often requested feature and new since version 0.6. If you want to maintain an empty line in case a record has no value for a keyword, simply put two spaces after the keyword and your empty line will be retained.
I know, pearLabelizer is free, but I like it so much - can I donate something?
If you really like pearLabelizer that much and you desperately want to spend some money on it, for good karma or whatever, please go out and do something good to the next person you encounter. If you still feel that overwhelming need to support the development of this utility, then you can just choose the "Donate..." entry in the pearLabelizer menu and follow your heart... Of course, I'm happy for any postcards I get too :)
