Default Auto copy and insert a defined number of rows as defined in a cell

Hi
I don't know much about VBA but could probably work something out.
I need to produce carton labels from a spreadsheet using Word to mail merge
and the labels need to include 1 of 10, 2 of 10 on them. The number of
labels required is dependant on a number which is included for each row of
data in the spreadsheet. What I am doing at the moment is copying each row
and insert pasting the additional number of rows required. In the new rows I
then add 1 of 10 in the first row, 2 of 10 in the second row etc. etc. This
then enables me to perform the mailmerge.
I have around 300 label variants (300 different rows of data) which yield
around 2500 labels and I have to do this every 3 weeks. As you can imagine
it takes a crazy amount of time and requires a lot of checking.
I'd guess there must be a much easier way that even someone of my moderate
experience could execute but I need a few pointers to get me started.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
