Printed address book

Q How can I print my address book from Contacts, with at least six entries on each page? by Lucy Clarke A Unfortunat­ely, Apple’s Contacts lacks the flexibilit­y for that, and in Sierra can crash when setting its print format up. FileMaker used to offer Bento, which was ideal, but its only solution now is to import your address book into FileMaker, a full-scale database and expensive overkill.

Most third-party address book apps offer limited support for printing, other than address labels and envelopes, and so don’t really offer the flexibilit­y you need.

If you want full control, one good solution is to export your whole address book using Exporter for Contacts (available from the App Store), then import it into a spreadshee­t of your choice. Although this may seem laborious, when you’ve been through it once and set the workflow up, you’ll find it much easier to use in the future.
