Ah no, I’m in the UK. The plist file you supply has a UK entry, but it appears to need a GB one instead/as well. Now that I’ve added that, it works fine for me!

This sounds great – but it doesn’t work on my machine (10.6.8). Have Apple updated it so that this trick no longer works?

It sings! I had a Home Premium Upgrade from a deceased laptop, and your write up worked great.

I apparently should have started working on this back in January when you posted this. I’m so frustrated!
Is there a way to print the spouse’s name on the envelope like you did above without having the spouse have his or her own contact card? I just really want it to pull from the spouse field if it is in use.

Thanks so much for this tip! I searched around the web alot to try to find this out, and your post was the most clear and succinct answer I found. Saved us a lot of time as we send out a bunch of cards to family and friends!

Wow! Thank you so much! I have used E-Bay for years and even used PayPal to print postage. I have had several occasions to send Media Mail, but could not figure out how to do it with PayPal! You just made my life a little easier. Again, thanks!

You can also use the “Grab” feature…..Click it, then click capture…..drag the crosshair to specify the area, then let go and you have a picture. That’s in case someone might forget the method you mention.

Good ideas. I recently saw an add for “zipper bag tops” to put on top of another bag that doesn’t have a zip closure. Now why not buy MORE plastic to put on top of OTHER plastic to keep it closed? Why are we such a wasteful generation? Snap clothespins work great as bag closers and they can be used over and over……don’t even need to buy plastic “snappers”!
