Default Is it possible to create labels from a word doc list?

Thanks Graham. I read alot of your answers to other posts, and find them
very helpful. That is why I knew if I posted my problem, it would be solved.
This way of doing labels is a snap, instead of typing each name over into a
label doc. I had never converted text to a table before.

Word seems happiest with tables as data files (though it can use a variety
of data formats). Select your list and use table convert text to table. If
the first row is not your fieldname(s) then add a first row and make it so.
You can then use this document as a label merge data file.

I want to do a Mail Merge and make filing labels - Avery 5866. My
data source is a list in a word document. I have tried several ways
with no success. I was able to do a Mail Merge when I made address
labels.
