MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / May 2008alphabetically paginate in a merge
i'm trying to put a church directory together and have no problem merging from my excel database but i'm wondering if there is some way that i can cause the merge to paginate alphabetically... like in an address book. all the "a's" together, all the "b's" together and so on. any help would be greatly appreciated! What version Publisher? If you are using 2003-07 you could do this manually if you are using the catalogue merge. After the merge, in step five, create a new publication. Arrange the entries the way you are describing.

The catalog merge works with pictures. There is a catalog merge block, you put all the information fields in the block. These will all stay together after you merge and you create a new publication at step five. It is then only a matter of pulling all the b's to the scratch area, inserting a new page, and dragging them back and so forth. It is time consuming but this is the only way I know.
