Here's the idea:
I was given an Excel spreadsheet with the following columns:
Lastname, Firstname, Address, City, State, Zip

I need to print mailing labels from this info
Easy enough, I've found
The hard parts:
Removing duplicates
Printing more than 1 label per sheet

How I have it set up:
I put all the info into a Mailmerge DB and can get it to output labels , but only 1 per sheet, which, with over 300 addresses is a big waste of space

Any programs you can suggest?
Any modifications you can suggest??
Thanks!

Imported the 4 excel files into an Access DB -- Horrible program
Sorted by name, deleted duplicates
Used Word's Mail Merge feature and put the Access DB as the mail merge DB...
Printed and voila!
