Knowing more about the source’s data format would help somebody respond to
your question.

Hi Nick,
For mailing labels see
www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm

To help you get your Excel file arranged properly with all of the
data to print a label coming from a row, see
www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/snakecol.htm
Don't know if it will help you, but there are several examples
for different formats of data.
