Hi Haines,
The simplest is to export your gnumeric data file to a csv then
use AbiWord to generate the mailing labels.
See:

Thanks, Martin. I would have guessed you could do the labels via
AbiWord, but I'd really prefer LaTeX for several reasons.
What is a "csv"?
Comma Separated Variables.
Your gnumeric file gets dumped to text with each cell separated by a
comma.
You could possibily hook up a little script to convert this into latex
with a "\pagebreak" between each row.
Cheers
Martin
