catalog merge

[JohnStuart]

I've got an MS Access database with information on genealogical photos and
have successfully created a catalog which merges all the photos with their
descriptions. I want to know, if I add more pictures and descriptions to the
database, can I re-use this merge design that I've already created or do I
have to re-create a catalog design with the wizard every time I add records
to the database? Is there an easy way to save the catalog design as a
template and just re-run it with the database any time I want?

When you save the publication, the merge stays with the file.

In step five of the catalog merge there is an option to create a publication.
You might want to try this. When you add items to the data base, run the merge
again, create a new publication, copy/paste the new pages to the original
document or delete the original publication and use the edited one.
