I am currently using this to output a file as a Microsoft Word document

Code: 
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=thefilename.doc"

It works great...

Now I have two issues that I hope will not be too difficult to solve



1) I need a way to make a page-break in Word so that I can create separate pages



2) (the hardest) - I need to output LABELS (like an Avery 8120 or something). How would I go about doing this? I would like to stay away from Components but if that is necessary let me know.



My preference would be to simply output it and have the client computer open it in Word (as my code example above)... but if necessary I am open to the server creating and saving the .doc and then delivering that file. Whatever is easier or necessary...

I worked on this problem, finnaly i found the solution, the solution is very simple, go to microsoft word, open up the file as you want it, save it in html format and ask word to remember you Word formatting settings, and then you got an html file very easy to edit, just rename it to .doc and you have your word file...

Another solution is with Office 2003, you have a possibility to save word file in xml format, which takes much more place, but it fully editable, and is a full word (2003) file.

Yeah... that's what I was playing with last night.
Here's the problem though... I want a page full of different labels...

How should I do it? It looks like it'd be pretty tough to figure out what goes where for each label individually? Would it be possible to actually create a mail-merged document that could be downloaded and have the source online somewhere?
It needs to be very easy for the end-user. Any suggestions?

Here you have an example of a page with labels readable by word, you have just to play with this html, but you better leave the word descriptions...
