Default Make varying numbers of label, change info and make more

I want to be able to change 4 fields in a label, print some number of them
and then change the info again and print again. I want to print from top to
bottom, right to left, pages print when full so there are no blank labels.
There could be multiple records on the same page or not. Ideally I would
like to fill in a table with the four fields and a fifth field with the
number of label I want. Then have them automatically print. What can I
actually do?

Create two merge documents and use the same data file

I want to print from top to bottom, right to left,


You can't do this without running a macro over the output to reorder the
labels. Labels print from left to right.

pages print when full so there are no blank labels.


If you want to re-use a part filled label sheet, then insert as many blank
records as spaces at the start of your data file.

There could be multiple records on the same page or not.


Multiple records will need multiple data entries

You can't do that unless you write a custom vba application to do so.
