Default printing mailing labels when data is in rows

In article , ?B?QnJpdHQz?= wrote:
I have a spreadsheet that displays my customer data in rows like a mailing
label.
1 Customer name
2 Customer Address
3 City, State Zip
4
5
6 Customer Name
7 Customer Address
8 City State Zip
9
10

All the data is in one column and the data format repeats every 6th row. So
I have five rows of name and address data for one entry then five more rows
of data for the next entry and so on. How can I reformat data into columns
for mail merging or print to mailing labels using the current layout?


You might be able to use the word 'mailmerge database' instead by copying
and pasting your data from XL ? I looked at doing something like that
<mumble years ago when I first started making labels, so it's all a bit
vague now, but I think it's like using an internal word data source ?
Perhaps a similar question in the word newgroup might get a more helpful
answer ? :)
Long term (ie if you need to do this more than once or twice ... or if your
data is likely to grow :) ), I suggest that reformatting your data is
probably the best option.

Best of luck.
