inserting names from Word document into a form letter

I have a Word document which contains hundreds of names and addresses
in the form:

Mr. John Smith Mr. Roger Roger
11 Smith Lane 1 Roger Road
Smith, CA 00001 Smith, CA 00001

Mrs. Jerry Richard Mrs. Jane Nort
22 Jerry Road 109 Tree Road
Treat, FL 00002 Flo, LA 00002

.....

There are 2 sets per row. We'd like to be able to take the names in
the Word document and have the names and addressed be automatically be
inserted into a form letter, with hundreds of form letters to be
printed. Does the doc with the names and addresses need to be
converted to an Excel file? If so, can it be done. Thanks. Feel free
to email me at the address provided on this matter. --Tim923

Re: inserting names from Word document into a form letter

At a minimum, you will need to rearrange them into this format for mail
merge purposes.

Name Address City
Mr. John Smith 11 Smith Lane Smith, CA 00001
Mr. Roger Roger 1 Roger Road Smith, CA 00001
