Publisher 2003 Catalog Merge - page break to start new page?

[Kory Hagler]

Not sure how to ask this so I'll explain what I want to do:

I am making a gradeschool yearbook that includes 14 different classrooms.
On each page, there are photos of the students along with their names under
their photo. When I do a catalog merge (using an Excel file for my source),
I want a new page to start for each different classroom. Is there something
I can code in Publisher to cause a page break when a new page should start?
What about in the Excel file?

I did a yearbook last year and to get it to work, I had to insert blank rows
into my Excel spreadsheet to get it to go to the next page. Depending on
how many kids photos were showing, I had to vary the number of rows. I had
to merge many, many times until I got everything correct -- very time
consuming.

Another example using a catalog merge where I would like to have a "page
break" is if I do an address book with photos and want a new page to start
for the next letter of the alphabet.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kory

The catalog feature allows you to add pages. You could use different merge databases
for each letter of the alphabet or classroom and add it to your main yearbook.
In step 5 of the catalog wizard, you can create a publication from your data. You can
move and manipulate this publication.
