I'm not sure if this is even possible, but if it is...

Is there a way to automatically create multiple packing slips or invoices
from excel data?

In my case, we can download a csv file with hundreds of customers' names,
addresses, and orders. I want a way to automatically create a packing slip
for each order (they can be on the same sheet, with page breaks) and print
the slip, instead of having to create a new packing slip manually for each
order. All the data is there.. I just need a way to create something out of
it.

We do this every morning, so something easy to use would be great.

You could create a Mail Merge in Microsoft Word and use the Excel workbook
as the data source.

You can also create a custom label size to match your packing slip size.

And once you get it set up, you should be able to save it and reuse it with
new data anytime you desire...

Format a worksheet to represent your required slip, with named ranges for
the information.

copy/paste the information into another sheet and have a macro run through
the list, copy the values into the corresponding cells on your form, then
print the form.

rinse and repeat.

eg.
******************************
dim lRow as long
dim shtSlip as worksheet

set shtSlip = thisworkbook.sheets("slip")


lRow=2

with thisworkbook.worksheets("packing info")

do while .cells(iRow,1).value<>""

shtSlip.range("customer").value=.cells(iRow,1).value
shtSlip.range("customer").value=.cells(iRow,2).value
shtSlip.range("customer").value=.cells(iRow,3).value
shtSlip.range("customer").value=.cells(iRow,4).value
'.....

shtSlip.range("A1:M200").printout

lrow=lrow+1
loop

end with
