I'm compiling a mailing list of around 5000 addresses which I will be printing onto labels to stick onto envelopes.

I'm basically manually picking addresses from my own sources and compiling them into a form that I can use for a mailing list for a business. The easiest way for me would be to probably cut and paste each address onto a template on word but are there better ways to organise my data so I can use it for other things in the future.

How should I hold my data in the first place. Are there specific programs where I can copy and paste address data which would be easily printable. Does excel do this too. Also, should I invest in a label printer, or will a regular printer with those A4 sticker label sheets be similar in cost and ease. Would a printing company be able to even print the addresses directly onto envelopes or stickers cheaper (what format would the expect it in).

Thanx
