Address book - font sizes

When I print up my Christmas Card list using Address book I find that
some of the addresses come in larger font sizes than the remaining
entries.

Checking the printed list it's obvious that what is happening is that
when the address is a four line address, then the program is expanding
the font size to fill the label. On a five line address the font is
restricted to get the whole thing on to the label.

My question is, should it be possible to instruct Address Book to force
the four line addresses into the small print. And if so, how?
Thank you,
Peter

Try adding a 5th line that is space characters.

Just make every address 5 lines.
Try this: On a 4 line entry, fill the (2nd? part 2?) address line with spaces
only. That might force it to have 5 lines. Maybe try printing 'Hard' spaces on
that line (shift return or option return).
If that won't print, try a line with .'s or -'s or *'s or whatever. An obvious
filler, but the address would be there with a line of ***** or ----- before the
city/ state line.

Good idea. I'll try those ideas out. Thanks.
