> This was all on Windows 95/XP/7 using Access for the Christmas lists. Honestly, I never tried to accomplish the same thing on Linux, and from what I can tell, it would be a nightmare.

For me, this goes back to WordPerfect 5.1 on DOS. I could use a comma-separated-list, pull it into a WP mailmerge with one label per logical page, tell WP that there are 14, or 21, or whatever, logical pages to a physical page, and it all came out nice-n-easy. Doing that even today with Word is a *nightmare*.
