Stacking may just be a matter of tranposing but hard to tell from your
description.

How is your data laid out currently?

Across 3 pages could be 18 or 20 columns and down many rows.

How many columns and rows and what would be combined to get it to fit into 3
columns on one page?

You may wish to look at MS Word's mail merge facility for producing labels,
which can use an Excel sheet as the data input. Details in Word help.

[And if you ask a question in a newsgroup, you get the answer in the
newsgroup, not by e-mail. That way, other people can see the answer in the
group archive if it is useful to them, and also the answer can be corrected
or improved by other members of the group.]
