Use the method described at
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm to create a label
merge, with your table as the attached data source. Insert the fields in the
first cell in the layout that you require and follow the instructions to
propagate them to the other cells. Merge to a new document or the printer.

That's what the instructions say to do that Jay posted. His post seems
like
what I want to do.

The addresses are in a table with each column having: last name, first
name,
address, city, state, and zip. How do i make these into labels without
having to go and retype all these? I don't care if I have to do mail
merge
and just labels.

What do you feel is the best route? Thank you so much for this.

Well, you really don't want to merge them for a data source. Leaving them
in
separate fields allows you to sort by last name.

The thing is, first name and last name are in two separate columns.
when
i
combine them, the first name is on top, and the last name is on bottom,
separated by a paragraph mark. How do i merge the cells so the first
and
last names are side by side?

there.
can i just convert the table into a mailing label format and print,
so
i
wont
have to start a new contact list in access and retype all that info
again?
the table has columns for: first name, last name, address, city,
state,
zip.

done.
