Default reversing tables to database format

hi

i was given a word document that has a table which looks like lables.
however i am trying to format this table or page to print for particular
lables. if i go to mail merge and choose this word file as the source for my
recepients then it doesn't get recognized properly. i was wondering if
anybody knows of a reversing of this to put my word document back to database
format. i have monarch and i am sure that can do it, but i was wondering if
there is a trick in office how to do this.

thanks,

sam

Thanks doug for your answer. was exactly what i was looking for. it didn't
really work for me for some reason, but i am going to try to study it and
figure it out. i think it was the way i was selecting the table or the
contents that didn't give the right results.

thanks a lot,

sam
