What is the best way to organize a mailing list that I purchased .

I purchased a direct mail list from citydirectory.com. I have saved it in
Excel 2000. I had ordered all possible contacts for each address and what I
received has each person on their own row, even if they have the same
address. For example, Ray Peterson of 108 Oak Street is on Row#9 and Jane
Peterson of 108 Oak Street is on Row#10, but I want to address the form
letter to Ray and Jane Peterson. What I am looking for is the most efficient
method to combine names of the same address onto only one row. Is it even
plausible that I don't have to just cut and paste and delete to consolidate
the residents of the same address onto one entry? I appreciate any help or
direction anyone can offer. Thank you!

Atempting this "progamatically" will result in a variety of interesting
name combinations. The fastest would be to DELETE duplicate addresses,
the slowest and most accurate would be to do it "by hand".
