making picture directory using Pub 2002

[LAC]

How can I use the excel database file with first and last names in the
picture directory that I am making In Publisher 2002 for my Bible Study. I
think that I need a Catalog merge so that I can insert the first name and
last name field numerous times on the same page, but Pub 2002 does not offer
Catalog merge. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Publisher 2003 introduced a catalog merge (with repeating areas) feature
including the ability to merge photos.

Thanks for your response Brian, but is there a way to accomplish this using
Pub 2002?

If you are looking to merge photos with Publisher 2002, you cannot.

Ah, yes. This can be done, but it is more of a use for labels. See the
following link:

The best tool that will accomplish what you want by design is Publisher
2003.

Ah, yes. This can be done, but it is more of a use for labels.

If pictures are going to be inserted later, Publisher 2002 IIRC will not do
this automatically, as Publisher 2002 will not merge to a publication, only
to the printer.
