Default Can Word tables be smart?

I'm attempting to make a sort of cascading (if thats the right word)
table.. what I mean is this..

I have a table that is X amount of rows long and 3 columns wide.. the
rows continue for as long as the data is needed..

The table is created from Mail Merge for making labels.. the standard
sheet is 10 rows 3 columns for making labels and printing them..

addresses get pulled from a database output, then formatted by the Mail
Merge - and inputted into the X rows and 3 columns..

Then the mail merge inputs the data, it is alphabetically ordered
running from left to right -- for example

A B C
D E F
G H I


So - here is my problem.. I have 12 pages of addresses (X columns, 3
columns).. all in alphabetical order left-to-right... and I want to
insert a NEW address that.. I want to insert a cell anywhere, and when
I do - it will push all the other addresses down in the correct order..
here is my example

BEFO

A B C
D E F
G H I

after i insert a cell:

A A B
C D E
F G H
I ....

So can word be smart and do that? Is there anyway to write a macro to
do this?

If you don't understand what i'm trying to say toss me an email
and I can try to explain it better and send you an
example file..

Thank you!

-Chris B.
