I don’t have a problem creating a separate card for the spouses. It’s having to create one for the kids that gets ridiculous.

I happened upon your blog this year through a Google alert on Wendell Berry’s name. He’s my hero and I learn so much from reading what others glean from his works.

Thanks. I could not figure out what was determining this. Having unrelated individuals determine whether or not “Sam’s” name will print is totally crazy.

I guess one can make a separate card for the spouses if you want them print on one label.

Thanks for writing this — I have been tearing my hair out, thinking I must be an idiot for not being able to find this feature.

Turns out: Apple’s the idiot for not including it!

I had hoped to avoid the Excel/mail merge hassle, but I guess I’m in for it after all.

We make up countless excuses not to do things everyday. From “I’m too tired” to go to the gym to “I could never do that” about a RTW trip.

We are not on this planet for very long - particularly not in physically able and agile shape - what are we saving ourselves for?

Funny you should mention this, I had the same thought after reading Gary’s post.

Well, not everyone has FBk pages — this was even a plot point on this week’s episode of “Brothers and Sisters” — the trick is going to be able to communicate with this audience and with other methods as people embrace new forms of communication that haven’t even been invented yet!

@David Strom - this post feels antiquated now given how clearly Facebook has crossed the proverbial chasm. Less than 2 years later not only is most of my MBA class of 2006 on Facebook, the majority of folks I went to high school and college are as well. I still am probably on the cusp of those two “generations” you describe, though (quite familiar with both publications, FWIW…).

I recently wrote about this topic with respect to how different generations consume media. I was at a meeting this week that drove home the big generational divide in online and offline media consumption. At the podium was a 20-something CEO of a new venture that is trying to work with new college grads. In the audience were people mostly twice his age of captains of industry. The young CEO was asked what he thought about using content that was similar to the way Consumer Reports rates and compares products. After a pause and a blank look, he said, “I don’t know what you mean, I never heard of that publication.” That got a big laugh from the audience, but his ignorance was genuine. The Q&A continued, and he mentioned a few moments later how he gets a lot of his information from the Web site HuffingtonPost.com. Now it was the moment of being perplexed for the gentlemen sitting next to me, who leaned over to ask me if I have ever heard of such a publication. His ignorance was also the real deal. So where do you stand on the Consumer Reports/HuffingtonPost axis? And more importantly, where do your readers stand as well? How savvy are they with using online media to get their information? You can read more here on my blog post.

FWIW, my solution was to use the “Nickname” field for what I want on my envelopes, then export into Excel and do a mail merge from there.

Yeah, this is really insane. I just filed a usability bug with Apple about this.
