MS Publisher Replacement or Help with Pages

[Momof2]

Hi, We are new to Macs and I need a little help. I need to create a catalog. In the windows world I used Publisher. It has data merging options. I could enter all my info in excel and then merge it with my catalog template. It worked great. I can't seem to find a way to do this with Pages. They only thing I find is Address Merging. SO, I'm asking if anyone knows of a program that would be able to do something similar?

Thanks in advance!

I think you can do the same thing with Microsoft Word. (Didn't Microsoft get rid of Publisher now that Word handles most of it's functionality?) You're probably going to want to pick up MS Office for Mac, which comes wit Excel, Word, and Powerpoint.
