You'd rather use software than to fill 20 fields per day? Ok..
Personally, I do such things by myself rather, to make sure they're well done.
If I got right, you receive names per some web page.
I didn't get how do you enter the data into "word processor template"..
If you write an text-file which is used by a program in order to generate mail sticker, the thing is easy. If you need to put the data into forms of some GUI program it isn't that easy. If that program is web-based, it is a bit easier than the last. etc
Basically, you can make program that will download list from web (or you'll download it and save on the place where program will use it), parse it, get needed data and export them in a data file, send them through web or enter them in forms in the way you would have to.

Microsoft word can do this. It's called a mail-merge.

And I still do not get what you were trying to do... gah, it must be simple if MS Word can solve it.

For once GFree failed to understand me, rather than the other way round. WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!!??!

Anyway, thanks Pig, it's doing exactly what I wanted it to do.
However...
When i open up the document linked to the CSV, and hit "Print", only the last record gets printed. If on the other hand I do:
Tools >>> Letter and Mailings >>> Mail Merge >>> Next...Next...Next >>> Print (Merge to printer)
Then all of the records get printed. This is a tad gay, I would like to print as soon as the document is opened, without farting around with: "Tools >>> Letter and Mailings >>> Mail Merge......."
Get me?
Any ideas?

First off, I take offense when the word "gay" is used in a derogatory way. It is a biggoted use of the word. It's just as bad saying, "that's so Jewish", or "that's so Mexican". If you want my help, I suggest you make an effort to curb the prejudiced language.
As for your question, I do not use mail merge much, so I don't know if there is anyway to make it do this automatically. You can put a mail merge shortcut button on the tool bar, which would make it somewhat faster.

Pig, you're such a caucasian sometimes.
to be mildly productive, you might want to try:
Mail Merge to Printer ALT+SHIFT+M
