When I do an advanced find on Categories & it gives me a list.
How can I print Avery Address labels 5160 from this list.
I dont see any type of printing options for this

You must select your Contacts in the Contacts Folder. That's what the "By
Category" view is for. There's no reason to do an Advanced Find for a
Category.

I see that now. Those options were covered up with My Contacts Folders.

Under my "My Contacts" I have several folders underneath
(Contacts - Friends - Family - Genealogy Contacts - RV Contacts etc)
I thought it was supposed to be set up that way.
Easier to locate than all under 1 heading "Contacts".

Several Questions :
1. Is that the correct way to have set it up?
2. If so, how can I get a list of ALL my Contacts under a category for a
mailing list?

3. When I show Category View it shows contacts broken down into the
Categories.
How do I select the ones that I want to be on the list that I want to make
labels for?

4. After that is accomplished, how do I set up labels when I want to print?
I dont see the option of printing labels like I do in MS Word.
I need step by step on this one because I cant see it.

Thanks

Just select all the Contacts in one category > Tools > Mail Merge..., then
make sure you do the merge only to the Selected Contacts.

Whether you use separate Contact Subfolders or Categories to organize your
Contacts is entirely up to you and depends on how you plan to use your
Contacts.
