I have a Word doc formated to print on Avery labels. It has all of the names and addresses (over 100) for this years Christmas cards. Instead of printing on labels and then putting the labels on the envelopes, I would like to print the names and addresses directly on the envelopes. I've been trying for a good while and have not found a way. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I may mistaken, but I think Graham Mayor gives some information on how you
can pull something like this apart to make a "proper data source". Check
at
www.gmayor.com

My initial thought, however, would be to select each column, one-by-one,
copy, then paste them one under the other in a new document. The result
would be a one-column table. Insert a new row at the top and type a field
name (Address, perhaps). Save, and link to this as the data source...
