2009 Christmas Card List-Tally Up!

[Pedersen]

I didn't have an issue, but that shouldn't be too much of a surprise. I found that, on my system (running Linux, so your print dialogs may vary), I needed to turn off all scaling, and turn off auto-center/rotation. Once I did that, it worked fine. And yes, that was the print dialog in Adobe Acrobat.

But, that's me.

Was it me or did anyone else have problems printing off the labels? I had to completely redo the labels so they would fit on my labels.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Yes, but won't you have to retype them? I couldn't figure out a way to modify or cut and paste the text in the list.

Or were you referring to return addresses?

return addresses. i have a few leftovers from last year, but not enough.

[Pedersen]

Cut and paste works just fine. You might need to use the text select tool in your version of Acrobat Reader, since by default it tends to use the pointer tool for some reason, but it does work.

As for which blank address labels, the Avery 8160 (which the PDF is formatted to fit) is a pretty decent choice, I think

Word2007 has some cute address label templates. Now I just need blank address labels.

Got my cards in the mail today! I've started working on them to get them mailed out. Hope you all enjoy my weird sense of humor ^^

I got a card from Monica today but I am not allowed to display it until Nov. 27th. My roommate threatened to kick me out.

I haven't even bought cards yet! I don't want to mail anything until after Thanksgiving, so y'all will have to be patient.

[Monica]

I like to be early so I don't forget. I am mailing a couple every day. The international ones will go out soon. I hand-addressed everything, and got them done all in one day.

I'm mailing mine after Turkey Day.. it's probably going to take me that long to finish my list between you guys, work contacts, friends and family. Gonna be a mighty mighty stack of cards this year! Already got a pile of Xmas stamps at Costco.

[technical.angel]

I'm working on mine when I'm bored at work, but they TOTALLY won't be in the mail until AFTER Thanksgiving!!!!

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Perhaps now we can begin the 2009 Christmas Card List Tally-Up.

My first one came today . . . seems as if Monica is the early bird.

I'll get mine started on after the 18th when I get paid again (sucks having a check every 2 weeks but I digress) and get the labels and ink for the printer.

I hand-wrote and addressed my cards over the weekend. I'll send them out after Thanksgiving, especially those outside the United States.

Well, this is a lovely holiday conversation...

At my previous job we'd have our holiday potluck in the endoscopy suite.

But holiday or not, every conversation with a gastroenterologist could be...lovely.
