Need Help on Print Merge and/or Adding Names and numbers autmatically

First time poster here so bare with me all.

I am looking for a way to take names and numbers and add them to corel automatically. I know print merge can do it but the only thing with that is I cannot use a contour with the text. Outlines work but as you all probably know they are more of a pain then a contour. Is there a way to keep the contour around names and numbers during a print merge? Basically, we have sport teams and I am looking to auto generate their names and numbers with contours. I also have questions regarding macros as well, but I might leave that for another topic of discussion. Please help!!! Thanks!
