This should be a simple task, but I can't figure out how to do it. Starting
from a file with addresses (3 or 4 lines, separated by a blank line), I want
to print a set of labels to a particular form (Avery 5160). On my friend's
computer, with the address file open in Word XP, he went to the Wizard which
promptly proceeded to erase the contents of the file and then couldn't use
that file as a data source. From a blank file, it could access the data,
but it apparently wants the data in a specific format: records one per line,
separated by some form of field separator. On my computer, using Word 2000,
I don't seem to have a Labels Wizard. I am given two choices: a full page
of the same label, or a single label. The full page of the same label works
fine, but how do I get it to print the set of labels?
