Here is a quote from www.Avery.com
makers of labels, templates and software...

"With dozens of Avery Templates built right into the Address Book, it's
easier than ever to create mailing labels with Mac® OS X Leopard.
There's no need to export records to another application. Avery
Templates are available in versions of Mac® OS X Panther and later."

"Avery Wizard for Microsoft® Office
Find all of our Microsoft® Word for Windows templates in one convenient
download. Save time creating Avery labels, business cards, and dividers.
Add our seasonal holiday designs to make festive labels, gift tags and
more!"

So that is pretty much free... and you could always create a new label
template to suit your needs...

Personally, I use FileMaker Pro - have had it for years (since version
3) and it still works, and am now at version 10. While it is neither
free, nor inexpensive, the upgrades are reasonable, or at least not
unreasonable. I use it for labels, envelopes, invoices, accounting, and
contact management. By using databases and sets of templates created and
customized over time, it does pretty much everything for my mail order
business.

Address Book is designed to print labels easily:

In the Address Book window, select your address book or a group in
the Group column, or select the specific names in the Name column
that you want to print.
Choose File --> Print.
In the Print dialog box you may have to click on the Standard/
Advanced button
Choose Mailing Labels from the Style pop-up menu.
Click on the Layout tab.
Choose the Avery label type that you like.
Configure the other print options as you want, then click Print.

However, if you don't want to use Address Book, check out:

PearLableizer (free)
http://www.pearworks.com/pages/software.html
pearLabelizer is a little utility that makes it a breeze to print
addresses or other text onto specific labels of a label sheet.

Howdy.

I understand how to use Avery labels in the Apple free global Address
Book.

However, I think I have the same question as the OP.

While I have no problem printing labels with the TO how do I do a label
that includes my own return address (the FROM part)?

Thank you everyone for all your replies.
Firefox seems to be working fine now (me knocking on wood)
I don't have all that many add ons. Maybe starting and restarting the computer did the trick, one can only hope.
