Implementing Address Labels in application

Does anyone know of a way in VB.net, to implement the
following functionality in printing address labels.

Allowing the user to select from which location on a
stadard address label sheet (Avery 5160) they want to
begin there printing from.

The address labels are printed using Crystal Reports and
currently always begin from the default location.

So the two main isssues are
1) Telling the Crystal report from where to begin
printing from
2) Making of the VB screen to display a sheet of labels
and allowing the user to select the location of the label
by pressing the label's position on the screen

If there is a better/easier way I would do that instead

I see nobody else posted so I will.

In the past I used Word and set up a Mail Merge. This took in a data source
that we exported to a text file (csv or tsv).

Not sure if it was a better solution, but it worked for us.

Here's a fwe related posts:
