Day planner Address Book print outs

AddressbookMacWorld writer Christopher Breen offers three ways to print out contact information from Address Book so that you can take it with you in a day planner (Filofax, Franklin, Day Runner, etc).

Well, two ways really. He covers using Address Book’s own built-in printing option, first through the included settings and then using instructions in a tip in the Apple Discussions forum.

He also suggests using the freeware Palm Desktop for Mac software , which offers more extensive options that are easier to configure than the Apple Discussions tip.

You can add one more option by quickly scanning the Address Book entries in the Hawk Wings Plugin and Addon List.

Address Book Reports (see an earlier Hawk Wings post ) offers many more options than the features built-in to Address Book.

It is shareware (USD 15) but will be money well spent for people with unusual day planners or boutique needs or for people who simply like to have all the options at their finger-tips.address book, day planner, filofax, franklin, contacts, printing, hipster, not apple mail, productivity

    Good tip Tim. One thing Breen missed is that, while free, Palm Desktop “requires” that you actually own a Palm device– that is, every time I’ve ever downloaded it, I’ve had to enter the serial number from my Palm device. (There may be a way around this, but it isn’t readily apparent– and it may violate one’s conscience, if not a legal provision.)

    So in effect, Breen offered ONE way to print from Address Book!

    I believe downloading from Palm’s website requires a serial number (ostensibly to insure the right version is provided), but if you get it from VersionTracker (or possibly elsewhere), the serial number is not required.

    Ed, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. I just downloaded the latest version of Palm Desktop for Mac via VersionTracker to a Mac that had never seen a Palm device before and I was able to both install and run Palm Desktop without ever being asked for a serial number. This mirrors previous experiences I’ve had — never been asked for that serial number.

    Maybe you’re looking in the wrong place on the Palm site?

    Chris
