Yes the setting does stick once set. I found it worked really well at the third

Use the print dialogue in the Contacts app. It works for labels and envelopes

I've never tried it but the Contacts app on OSX, if you have a bunch of
addresses selected and hit print, you can pick various Avery label
formats so I'm assuming it would print address labels just fine. In
other words, I think Pages might not be the right tool for the job.

Besides the toggle feature of pausing/restarting VO speech, the double-press of
