You might need to use a macro to Unlink all of the fields in the document
produced by the merge and then copy and paste the text into a new document
created from a template that has the graphic elements set up in it.

macropod, thank you for the tutorial. I have catalog merge working,
with multiple achievements keyed to a name field.

Now graphics are giving me trouble. I need to print certificate
frame, org logo, and some text behind data. Any way I place them in
doc - as separate graphic elements, grouped as one, or as GIF called
in script - does not allow them to be layered with data. Placing a
text box around script does allow layering, but seems to break the
catalog merge (back to ungrouped data, and text boxes and graphics get
placed all on one page of output).

I've spent a bit of time trying, but starting to wonder if it can be
done...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
