Nor should you expect to do so.
A word processor _can_ produce flyers and brochures, but it
doesn't do these things well because that is not what it is
designed to do.
A spreadsheet _can_ store and sort data but it doesn't do these
things well because that is not what it is designed to do.
Unless you have compelling reasons for storing names and addresses
in a mathematical manipulation program, you would be best advised
to export to CVS, transfer to a database and avoid any further
frustration.
