Publisher vs Word 2002

[JB]

I am currently using Word 2002 to make up facsimile copies
of old catalogs. These are mostly graphics and can bee
from 15-150 pages. The documens are big, 200MB and
larger, but are very simple in design, usually just one
bif image per page, sometimes with headers and footers..

I need the ability to have headers and footers, sometimes
with page numbers.

Would I benefit by moving to Publisher? If so, in what
ways?

Do you have your catalogues professionally printed?
Do you lay out relative to the page or relative to text?
