Default Using CSV as Data Source

I have some CSV files with mailing list information (name, addr, city,
state, zip) and I want to import that data into Word (Word 2003) and then
use it to create mailing labels. I cannot get the data to be seen as sets of
addresses - I just get the CSV strings.

How do I do this?

Word should be able to use the CSV file as a data file
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm . If you have
problems convert it to a Word table - see
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm which explains
how.
