Hi there,
I've been tasked by my local Scout group to create a Leaders/Adult Members directory and a completely separate Campsites directory. Straight away this would be a huge task with the members directory ranging in the the hundreds of people, affiliated to different groups (etc) but am thinking the output like a white pages booklet. The Campsites directory would need to be more in the style of a Yellow Pages - with the listings
1. Am I thinking correctly that Base / Writer would be the right programs for this task? I was wondering if there is a way to create a Base database for the memberships and then export the data in to writer to add the covers, format the output to 3 columns (etc).
2. For the Campsite directory / Yellow Pages-style data, is there a way to manage the data to either be a "listing", "bold" or "Featured / picture ad" style and the database knowing what information needs to be output from the database when exportinh, or am I mixing the concepts together too much? Anyone know if I'm even in the right ball-park knowing if this is even possible?
3. From my research, before posting this question, I came across [catbase.com](http://catbase.com/) - which seems to be able to achieve the same kind of things - but is outputing to Adobe Indesign and many £££ / $$$ which is just out of my completely non-existent budget.
Any help, advice and input would be truly greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Leigh
