How is a picture directory created in Publisher 2003?

[pat]

I am new to publisher and might have too many questions. I want to create a
picture directory. An acquaintance said that I may be able to do it in
publisher. It needs to be about 5 pictures across and 6 or 7 down with names
and phone numbers under the photos. I can’t find any templates. Are there
any? If there are not can I create my own? If I do will I be able to click
and drag photos into the publisher template from a folder on my desktop? If
I want to add/delete/insert a new picture will the others ‘slide’ forward or
backward to accommodate an alphabetical addition/deletion or will the
template be ‘static’?
I’ve thot of downloading a free picture directory program but I’d like to
stick with msft if possible because anyone that follows me will most likely
have it on their computer. One son has adobe 7 but the price is a little
steep for me. Thanks

What you are asking about is possible with Publisher. I suggest acquaint
yourself with the catalog merge.
