Spreadsheet rows to formatted output

How would a person go about formatting output from the rows of a spreadsheet in the form of:
A1 B1
C1
D1
E1
F1

A2 B2
C2
D2
E2
F2

for some undetermined number of rows.

The question seems to be incomplete. Can you explain what you start with and your desired result?
A sample file in .ods would help.

Thank you for looking at this. What I’m indicating is that the content of the original spreadsheet would be something like:
Cell A1 contains ‘participant 1 name’
Cell B1 contains ‘school 1 name’
Cell C1 contains ‘coach name’
Cell D1 contains ‘field event 1’
Cell E1 contains ‘field event 2’
Cell F1 contains ‘track event’

Subsequent rows contain information for subsequent participants. I want to be able to automatically generate output in the format of:
Participant 1 name School 1 name
Coach name
Field event 1
Field event 2
Track event

I was thinking of it being in another spreadsheet. I know I can create a reference for the first source row, but when I copy the target cells to the next five rows, it offsets five rows forward in the source spreadsheet. I’m hoping there’s some other method of which I’m unaware.

You are describing Mail Merge.
