"Will it work?" Probably will - 20 rows x 20 sheets = 400 .jpg files with
some desctiption text frams. It would be what I would call a 'load' on the
system, but I don't think you're going to suffer catastrophic application
failure with it.

"Should you..." probably not, for exactly the reasons that Jim Thomlinson
gave: that's not what Excel was really designed to do. MS Publisher or (even
though it failed?) Word would be the preferred tools in a document that is
strictly an instrument of information presentation, as opposed to information
management, analysis or manipulation.

The continuing story of my products catalogue...
Having experienced trouble with Word in that matter that too many pages with
picture objects and textframes leads to a collapse, I eventually tried
Publisher and, of course that would work fine. However I find it easier
working with Excel and therefore my question is: Can Excel handle lots of
A4-sheets with up to 15-20 rows where also each row gets a jpg-picture in a
frame? Or would this Excel-file also break up and lock after page 20?

I have tried a couple of pages and so far it seems ok. The resulting
catalogue is then supposed to be saved as pdf and burned on cd. I really hope
this works in Excel. I would really appreciate opinions and experiences on
this matter.
