text box, mail merge, and images

[cramd]

Within Office 2003, I want to mail merge database info into a text box that includes images onto a business card. The text box works great until I mail merge, and then I get errors, so here are my questions:
1) I cannot do a mail merge within a text box - am I correct on this?

2)I redesigned the business cards without a text box - which I do not like, I have more control over text and images within the text box. Is there a better way to mail merge text & images without using the text box feature?

3)And my final question is, when I've taken the choice to format a picture "behind the text" - (text that is not in a text box) - how do you get control of the picture to bring it in front of the text again? With a text box, I could move the text to the side and get control of the image - I can't seem to do this anymore without a text box.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Have you tried a Frame instead of a Text Box?

I'm not familiar at all with frames in MSWORD. Any pointers to getting started with this and can it do a mail merge on mailing labels?
Would I do a frame with text and a separate frame for images?
