How do I make an address label in excel, then merge it with Word.

show the name address and city on 3 separate lines. how do I do this?

If you're going to do a merge into Word, put the data for each line of the
label into a different column.

Have you ever seen the text look like this, Mike Johnson||123 harvard
st||cleveland OH. the "||" somehow inserts the next few words right below,
making it look like an address on an envelope. Do you know how to do this?

If you're typing the address, you can hit alt-enter to force a new line in the
cell.

Make sure that Format|Cells|alignment tab|wrap text is checked.

But you're life will be much easier if you put each field into its own column.

For Example: the columns at the top read FIRST LAST ADDRESS
However in some of the addresses there is a "C/O John Doe" line. I want
this line to be under the address line But I do not want to hit ALT + Enter.
An example I looked at had 123 high st || C/O john Doe. The "||" symbol
somehoe makes the c/o populate below the address. does this make sense?

If your strange character is the 11th character in cell A1, try the formula
=CODE(MID(A1,11,1)) to find what character it is.
