string loop rectangle display

somekidbrandon (1)
I have been writing a code to display a "mailing label" with user input. The "label" is a rectangle outlined with "X" and inside that the information will be displayed. I have seem to be stuck on the part of the code where I replace one of my cout<< " "; loops with the string "name", "address", "city" , "state", "zip"

My working code is below, please remember that this is from another project which includes other useless information such as the string length which I probably will need later on.
