554656 2007-05-31 02:49:00 Hi all,

I have a Word document with a list of people's names and addresses in table/cell format with columns like this: (apologies for the --- i didn't know how to separate the words, simply using space bar didn't worK)

First Name-----Last Name-----Address Line 1-----Address Line 2-----City
Joe------------Bloggs--------16 Nowhere St-----Somewhere------Auckland

I would like to know how to, in another Word document, change that to address format so all the addresses will appear like:
Joe Bloggs
16 Nowhere St
Somewhere
Auckland

This is because we have some sticky paper in label format, so we can just print them onto the labels, and peel them off and stick them on envelopes.
Am i right in thinking it has something to do with "Fields"?

Thanks
Catherine
