Has anyone developed an export to pull a data dictionary that contains the Salesforce Field Label and corresponding APEX Field Name for all standard and custom objects in an org. 

 

Or, if you already have in excel/CSV format with standard APEX Field Names and Field Labels, that would be great.

 

I've tried the APEX Data Loader 17 and APEX Explorer 8.0 to no avail--they only show the APEX Field Names.

 

Thus far, the best way to do is to run Data Loader Exports and Report Exports for each object and match the two extracts together in one spreadsheet.  (Very manual process.)

 

The other way is to go into each individual field to view the information. (Even more manual and tedious.)

 

There is an IdeaExchange example of this:  http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/64543
