Sorry about the cross post; I won't do it again. I tried to close the other thread on the answers.microsoft.com forum.
In any case, I don't really have any sort of working document to post. What I'm really looking for, is something like a yearbook. At the top, there will be a header, that will be repeated on multiple pages if necessary. In the main body of the document, there will be a grid of photos, with names and some other fields underneath each photo.
I'm not even sure where to start with something like this. The need for grouping would indicate that this must be a Directory-style merge, but I also found this in the tips:
Catalog/Directory Mailmerge to Label Stationery
To use a catalog mailmerge with label stationery, all you need to do is to set up the page layout in the mailmerge main document so that you've got the same column layout and margins as the labels, then put the mergefields inside a single-cell table of the correct dimensions for a single label.
I was trying to play with this, but I must not be understanding it correctly, because I'm getting one cell per page.
I attached an image sample of the type of output I'm looking for.
