Merging data to create web pages

TI Hulk

I am creating a slide show (of sorts) which includes lots of pictures and information about those pictures. I want each slide to be a .htm file by itself. I have all of my information - including links and file names - in a table that is much easier to
generate based on what I want to do.

Now, what I would like to do is to use Frontpage with a basic template to merge my data into the separate files which will all be linked together. I do not want this to be a dynamic data view page, but I want each page to be static.

How do I do this in Frontpage or Word and Frontpage or Access and Frontpage? Any directions will be appreciated.

If you want static pages, then you must build each page individually with the content you want on
the page, plus you would have to manually code the link back and forward between each page.

Why do you want these to be static pages?

Here is a thought if you can program. I haven't done this
BUT:

1. create a slide web page the way you want in Front Page
so you can determine what code Front Page generates for a
given slide,
2. write a program that reads your table and generates
the HTML code for the web pages, links etc.
