I have address information in 3 columns of cells that include name, address,
city/state/zip I want to combine these into a format similar to below:

Ex: Adams, George
123 Groovy Lane
Decatur, GA 34455
What should my formula include?

If you're actually forming a label, a far better alternative is to use
the XL worksheet as a data source for Word's Data Merge.

You should be using "mail merge" in Word together with your data in XL to
make your labels.

Assuming the 3 columns are A:C, in an adjacent column enter

=A1 & CHAR(10) & B1 & CHAR(10) & C1

Format to wrap text.

I personally would not do this. Excel is not ideally suited for creating
labels.

Can be done through trial and error but Word is a much better Label creator
using Excel as a source of data.

Word likes the data in separate columns and rows as you currently have.

For help on Word mail merge using Excel or Access as the data source.
