If this were my project, I would put the items in an Excel worksheet
then use Word's merge features to build the catalog. There's a decent
product catalog template on Microsoft's web-site:

Hi Anne,
Since this task is not my usual line of work, I don't know what type of
catalog you would call it so I'll describe it a little. It will display
craft supplies, and will probably end up being 100-150 pages long. Each
page will contain as many items on it as the page will comfortably hold.
It is my understanding that we are going to print out one copy and take
this copy to the printer who will compile it into a real book. Actually,
the reason I looked at Publisher is because it is the only software that
I can think of that I already have that might be able to do the job, but
after completing about 6 pages I'm ready to find something, anything,
that will make the job faster and less of a pain. One problem I've
already encountered with Publisher 98 is that I can't figure out how to
move something from one page to another, which is going to be a *must*,
especially further down the road. Maybe I'm just dreaming but I would
like to be able to lay several pages side by side and rearrange between
them until I get the right look on each page.
Word... hmmm. Is that a good option for a task like this? I must admit
that I've never used Word for much more than a gloryfied typewriter,
though I know it can do more, I have never explored its abilities. Oh,
except for a handful of times I used Word's draw tools to create some
flow charts.
Any suggestions/advice welcome!!
Pam

When you say a "catalog" do you mean a brochure or an index? If the
latter, Publisher doesn't automate this enough to make it worth
attempting.
There are fairly major differences from P98 in more recent versions but
it could be that you could achieve a better result by producing it in
Word first then importing into Publisher to achieve your desired booklet
layout etc.

Well, the reason I asked is because I have Publisher 98. I was wanting
to ask if there are enough differences between the newer versions and
the one I have to warrant getting a new version. But it would have to
be a stand alone version that I got because for some reason this time of
year causes terrible budget problems. I am building a catalog, btw.
Publisher 98 is getting the job done... but slowly and tediously. I
realize that the task you are trying to accomplish would likely
influence the decision.

NOT necessarily!
* Depends on which version, as to whether you GET IT with Office. In
2000 you did.
* It's part of the OFFICE FAMILY...NOT the suite under most all
circumstances.
* It IS part of Office 2003 Small Business Edition...assuming a SOHO
would want to publish their own letterhead, business cards, stationery,
etc.
* It is NOT part of Office 2003 Pro...as the general office user is
assumed NOT to need it...so it is sold separately.
