<title>Example 3: Address Labels Using the <app>Evolution</app> Addressbook</title>
<p>Our last party was a great success, and now we need to print mailing
address labels for the invitations to a new one. To simplify this, we can use
the <app>Evolution</app> addressbook, because the address
data of all our friends is stored there.</p>
<note>
<p>Depending on how your copy of <app>gLabels</app> was packaged, this option could be unavailable.
Support for the <app>Evolution</app> addressbook will only be available
if the <app>evolution-data-server</app> and its development files
were present when <app>gLabels</app> was built. Please keep this in mind if you build <app>gLabels</app>
directly from source.</p>
<p>If the <app>gLabels</app> package from your distribution lacks this support,
you may wish to contact the package maintainer or file a bug against the package
to request it.</p>
</note>
<p>In <app>glabels</app> we have created a new <app>gLabels</app>
document using the Avery 5512 "Address Labels" template. Next we use the
<guiseq> <gui>Objects</gui>
<gui>Merge Properties</gui></guiseq> menu item to display
the <gui>Merge properties</gui> dialog. We use this dialog to
select the source type (in our case <gui>Data from default Evolution
addressbook</gui>) as shown.</p>
<!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
<media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex3-1.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
<p>Merge properties dialog</p>
</media>
<!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
<p>Once we have chosen <gui>Data from default Evolution addressbook
</gui> as our merge source, we will get a full list of its content. Initially,
all entries are checked. Assuming we were planning a really big party, we could
leave this selection untouched (but let's keep our budget in mind). We will now select or
unselect certain entries by clicking on the appropriate checkboxes, or we could use
the <gui>Select all</gui> and <gui>Unselect all
</gui> buttons to activate or deactivate all entries in the address book.</p>
<p>We can also view each entry in more detail by clicking on the appropriate
expander (the little triangles) as shown. Once we are satisfied with the
selections in this dialog, we will click the <gui>OK</gui> button to
accept the changes.</p>
<p>Now we start adding objects to our <app>glabels</app> document as shown.</p>
<!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
<media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex3-2.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
<p>Menambahkan objek</p>
</media>
<!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
<p>In this example we have a single text object again. This text object contains
all of our merge fields organized on multiple lines as a mailing address.</p>
<p>Now we can print our address labels by selecting the
<guiseq> <gui>File</gui>
<gui>Print</gui> </guiseq> menu item. This will display
the print dialog as shown below.</p>
<!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
<media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex3-3.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
<p>Printing address labels</p>
</media>
<!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
<p>Just to make sure our labels are going to look okay, we select the
<gui>Print outlines</gui> option and click
<gui>Print Preview</gui>. This will display a print preview dialog
as shown below.</p>
<!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
<media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex3-4.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
<p>Address labels preview</p>
</media>
<!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
<p>Everything looks good, so we can now load up our printer with
the appropriate label stock, print our address labels and start mailing
our party invitations.</p>
