I am using the Business card template in publisher to make school ID's for
our students here at City Lights Public Charter School
(www.citylightspcs.org) because they fit perfectly onto the cards that were
purchased. The ID's are a product of Office Depot and they don't have a
template that I can use for their own product...smart, right? Anyway, my
difficulty is being able to make eight different "business cards" so that
each ID tag has a different student's information and photo. Is there a way
that anyone knows of to make each business card different?

What version Publisher? Publisher 2003 has a catalog merge that includes merging
images. Merging is the only way to get each card different without manually
typing in the information. If you don't have Publisher 2003 you still can merge
the student information and manually insert the pictures. What is the i.d.
number of the cards?
