Broadly speaking I don't think there's anything unusual about what you're
trying to accomplish (which is maybe why no-one seems to have replied)
unless there's a problem with the Avery layout you mention.
I suggest you have a look at Graham Mayor's site at

I need some help with mail merge (following find a description of what
I am trying to accomplish).
Once a month there is an Excel spreadsheet that I download with a list
of attendees for a non-profit function (around 70-80 people on the
average).
The only 3 columns in this spreadsheet that I am interested in are the
following:
- First name
- Last name
- Company name
I need to print off name badges (Avery 5395 to be specific) for each
individual with their first name, last name and the name of the company
they work for.
I would like to have a template that is re-usable month after month if
possible.
Can someone give me a step by step walkthrough in order to set this up?
If there is a better way of accomplishing this, I'm open to
suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Paul
