Why a paper address book?

It works without a battery, keeps addresses for holiday cards in one place, and is easy for older relatives to use.

How many contacts fit on a page?

Twelve as the page starts, each line 0.43 in (11 mm) tall, which leaves room for a full address. Set Rows to 20 and the lines are 0.31 in; up to 33 still fit on one sheet, squeezed to about 0.19 in. Ask for more and the table carries on over a second page with its headings repeated.

Can I print addresses on envelopes too?

Yes — the address printing tool prints envelopes and labels from a list.

Can I change the columns?

Yes — each line of the columns box is a column.

Can I keep track of holiday cards?

Yes. Add a column whose name ends in a star, such as Card sent*|2, and it becomes a column of tick boxes. Rename it Card received, or Thank-you sent after a wedding, and the same sheet does that job.

Example

Example: Grandma’s address book, with a tick box for holiday cards

An address book for a grandparent who sends cards every December: no email column, and a tick box for the card instead. Columns typed as Name|4, Address|7, Phone|3, Birthday|2 and Card sent*|2; 12 rows on landscape US Letter, as the page starts in the US and Canada.

The numbers after the bar are shares of the 9.82 in table: 4 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 18, so Address gets 3.82 in, room for a street, a town and a ZIP code.
The star turns Card sent into a column of tick boxes, one in the middle of each row.
Twelve rows on one sheet are 0.43 in (11 mm) tall each, enough to write an address over two lines.

Column	Width	Written in, e.g.
Name	2.18 in	Aunt Linda Example
Address	3.82 in	12 Elm Street, Springfield, IL 62704
Phone	1.64 in	(555) 010-2368
Birthday	1.09 in	03/14
Card sent	1.09 in	a tick in the box
