Best program for catalog creation?

Here's the story: Boss has now decided we're going to start doing our 800-item office supply catalog in house. (!!!!AAAAHHHHHGGGGG!!!)

Before ,when we did short 24-page jobs, I just typed out all the text in word, then flowed it into Quark, putting item pictures off to the side. A lot of work, but not THAT bad.

We have an Excel database of item information for 800 items. I'm thinking there's a better way to do this than just making one big word filem, which would probably end up being too big to import anyway. Suggestions?

We have inDesign, but I'm not keen on it. Would prefer to stick to a Quark, but I would buy an indesign product if it made things easier.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
