Default Mailmerge or Pivot Table?

Hi everyone

I'm not sure where to post this, so I've started here!

I have a simple table in Excel 2003 and am working with Word 2003. The
first column of data has a number of countries (which is repeated) and in
the relevant rows, there is information relating to the country (such as
year, region and population at the end of that year).

I need to collate the data to labels - at the centre top of each label the
name of the country and then columns of data. In this example, the first
column would be "Year" and the second would be "Region" and the third would
be "Population". I know that I can use mailmerge but I've only been able to
do this and have the country in the first column, year in the second, region
in the third and population in the fourth. The repeating country name is
not necessary as I need this as a title on the label. I also know that I
could use a Pivot Table to collate the data but I've only been able to get
it to count (or do other numerical analysis of the data), rather than give
the actual data.

I may be "barking up the wrong tree" with these approaches so I'd be
grateful for thoughts about how this could be done. Finally, I know that I
could set an AutoFilter to display the data by individual countries but this
wouldn't allow me to print the labels as I'd like (or could it in some
way?).

Thanks for your time and patience!
