Would be worth looking at an SQlite database too (dead easy to use).
www.sqlite.org
Googling seems to indicate that SQlite can be tied into OO.

John should be able to write a program in Visual Basic
  to dump his existing data into a SQlite database.
Google visual basic sqlite

Bit of effort to get your existing data into a database would pay off
in the long run.
Oh, and Freshmeat has label templates for Ooffice.
