Working on Christmas card labels here and am finding the default output unpredictatable - sometimes the label will include spouse information, sometimes just the child, sometimes both. And there does not seem to be a preference to include or not. Am I missing something here? Is AddressBook improved in Leopard? Is there a workaround or another application that I can use? I found EasyEnvelopes which is really great but does not do labels which is the preferred format for my wife to use for cards ...

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Update: I found that when you choose "Distribution List" in Addresses under the Label tab AddressBook will exclude spouse and child fields and limit the printed label to the main person field.
