Bugfinder is on a distinguished road
Default I have a very specific need but don't know how to do it...

To summarize: I need to print labels for mail (addressees). Yes, I know Word has had a label formatting feature for quite some time, but it relies on the addresses being in a database that identifies each field separately, as tags. Something like:



<name> Mr. John Doe Nobody
<address> 105 Upndown St., Round Circle
<city> Crazytown
<state> ZZ
<zipcode> 00000-000
<country> Far Far Away

BUT... All I got was a huge text file with these addresses, all totheger and with a single blank line separating each addressee. No tags identifying name, street name, city, nothing. Only a bunch of addresses copied and pasted together. Like this:

Mr. John Doe Nobody
Nonumber Upndown St., Round Circle
Crazytown
ZZ
00000-000
Far Far Away

Ms. Jane Doe Anybody
69 Pleasure Road, Greatsex
Nonstop
YY
99999-999
Farther Away

...

Nevermind the joke addresses LOL - So what could I do to make these non-formatted addresses fit in the space of each label WITHOUT the pain of going into 2000+ entries and putting labels before each line, so they fit what Word expects?
