MacWorld 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

Creativebits carries a tip on how to print contacts from Address Book if you need the information and are away from your computer.

Ivan points out that Address Book contains a “Pocket Address Book” printing format.

If you are looking for greater flexibility, it is worth remembering another helpful app that expands your options.

Address Book Reports offers a variety of templates that include Card and Phonebook sizes and well as allowing for custom print-outs (Hipster contact lists, anyone?).

It also does envelopes and labels, and all of that for only USD 15. You can get it from the developer’s web site .
