catalog merge formats

[cbra]

Ok my problem is that I am trying to put a lot of data through a
catalog merge. I will have16 discrete data and photo merge links on a
page. I want to have it drop into a format that I will not have to
realign and futz with after the merge. It appears the only way to do
this is to do the first catalog merge layout and the software decides
what is best (ie how many to a page where to put them on the page,
etc). Is there anyway to put the multiple catalog merge formats on the
master page and then do the data link function???
Please help.

You can adjust the merge area to as few or many entries you want on a page. If
the pictures are not the same size, then every picture will line up on the left
edges. You can position the picture exactly in the "format picture" dialog.

Catalog merge will place pictures inline depending where you have specified the
merge. You can change the format by right-clicking the picture, format picture,
layout tab.
