Default Merge address in XL to Word letter template


Friends,
Here is the basic situation. I have about 10 excel sheets containing
addresses of thousands of contacts. They are written like this:
[prior title][first name][middle name][last name][end
title][street address line 1][street address line 2][street address
line 3][city, state zip]

Not all cells, like titles, contain data for all persons. Anyway, what
I need is a way to insert, automatically, these addresses into the
proper address space in a prewritten letter and on an envelope. I know
how to merge to create address labels in word, but not merge them into
a completed letter, as in:

Word File:

[Prior Title][First Name][Middle Name][Last Name][End Title]
[Street Address Line 1]
[Street Address Line 2]
[Street Address Line 3]
[City, State Zip]

Dear [Prior Title][First Name][Last Name][End Title]

How are you, blah, blah, important stuff, blah.

Sincerely,

TheOne
============

So, one letter, thousands of different addresses. What do you folks
think I can do to achieve this? Any suggestions, except for how to make
normal address labels, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
TheOne
