Printing Labels - Suggestions Please!

[Geee]

I have a contacts directory that works great in PHP and MySQL, what I want to do now it to generate pages of labels that can be printed out to enable us to mailshot our customers. I have a template in Word format that prints onto the labels perfectly. My first thought was to generate a PDF that replicated the layout of the word document, but using fPDF has proven to be a nightmare. I'm wondering if it's possible to do this in an easier way that I haven't considered yet. Any suggestions greatfully received!

Can't you write a CDF file (Comma Delimited Format) and do a mail merge in Word? I can imagine that word could even do a mail merge directly from MySQL.

word should be able to take its data feed directly from a database via an odbc connection. if you use mysql, dl the mysql odbc connector. you will need to make sure that you can attach to your mysql database remotely, if you do not host it yourself.
