Default Excel as a products catalogue?

Good luck with the project. I personally think that the chance of success is
very high. I know that given the conditions you've described, I wouldn't
hesitate to attempt to do it this way. Since you've mentioned publishing as
an A4 page size, that leads me to belive that the individual graphics will be
relatively small which reduces the risk and by publishing with Adobe Acrobat,
you'll have an opportunity to optimize the final product for publication on
the web which will help reduce its file and make loading it from the
company's home page a bit faster.

Thankyou! These have been very useful answers. Obviously This catalogue will
not contain very much data so I will have a try at it.

The resulting file (catalogue) will be saved as pdf-document, burned on cd,
and also published as pdf on my companys homepage.

As I see it it will be easier making alterations within the catalogue using
Excel as opposed to lots of layout work in Publisher... Well thats how I feel
rigth now at least.
