How to Print Address Labels on Mac Pages

When it comes to printing address labels on your Mac using Pages, you may find yourself wondering how to go about it. The process is relatively straightforward, but it does require some attention to detail to get it right.

To start, open up your document in Pages and select 'File' > 'New' > 'Labels' from the menu bar. This will open the Labels dialog box, where you can choose the format of the label sheets you want to print on.

Once you've selected the label sheet format, you'll be asked if you want to print a form letter. Answer 'Yes' to open up the Mail Merge dialog box.

In this dialog box, you'll see the fields in a more visible manner, allowing you to arrange and edit label contents more easily. You can also temporarily enable 'View' > 'Field Names' to see the field names for each label.

Now, work on the first label in the document, making any necessary edits or formatting changes. When you're finished, click the 'Synchronize' button to copy your work to every label in the document.

If you want to type more text, apply formatting, or insert images and line art into your labels, enable the 'Synchronize contents' option on the Options tab. You can also use formulas in this template to pull data from other tables.

Once you've finished editing, select all the cells in the table (not one at a time) and format them as desired. If your labels are arranged in 3 columns of 10 labels each, your table should be set up accordingly.

To finalize your label template, measure the margins of the sheet of labels and set the page margins to match. Then, delete the default table and insert a new, plain table with the same dimensions as your label layout.

With these steps, you'll be able to print address labels on Mac Pages in no time. Just remember to synchronize your changes after editing each label, and you'll be all set!
