I have a list of addresses that I need to print mailing labels for on Avery 5660 label sheets. The program (Ticketmaster) I am using gives the names and addresses in one column in MS Word. Is there anyway I can format this into a label template without copying and pasting them all? Thanks!!

Ex:
HASSAN ABDUL-SHARIF
145-30 224TH STREET
SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, NY 11413

CAROL JEAN ADAMS
21 Q JANE LACEY DR
ENDICOTT, NY 13760-3729

PETER G AHERN
3092 S. COOK STREET
DENVER, CO 80210

It's possible, but why in the world would you post legitimate names and associated addresses on a Public Forum?

One suggestion:

Open the Excel Help files and search on "labels".

The second entry in my list was:

Print labels by using Excel data in a Word mail merge

Maybe you could copy your list from Word to Excel and then use Word's Mail Merge feature to print your labels.

The names and addresses do not match. It was an EXAMPLE.

Not according to switchboard.com. Those are valid names and associated addresses in the second and third entries.

I don't care. This is a computer forum not the Internet police. Maybe you should take it up with "switchboard.com" then if they have it online. Addresses are public domain and are available in any phone book. There's no need to flood these message boards with your nonsense.

I have still been unable to resolve this issue. I cannot use mail merge because the data is not in separate columns.

If you're too stupid to follow common sense in regards to other people's information, you're too stupid to understand a reasonable answer even if it is given to you.
