Default Using Mail Merge for Creating a Document of Biographies...

Hi,

I am currently creating a word document containing short biographies.
My aim in creating this is to be able to have a page or two for each person,
and on that page are his dates, information about him, pictures, etc.

The way to do this which seems the most obvious is by using mail merge, as
it would mean that each page is exactly the same, and I would just have to
input the data onto the data source. However, I do not have any idea of how
to start creating this document, so any help would be great!

Would it just be easier creating it using simple word (by just imputing the
information?); the only problem is would be that all the pages would have a
different format.

Thanks in advance,
Sam Clarke
