Default combining mailmerge database files

How you merge files depends on what format they are and whether they have
the same number of fields. Probably the simplest method in the absence of
this information is to create a directory merge into a single row table
containing a column for each of the required fields. Merge to a new
document. Repeat with the other data file - paste one table to the end of
the first. Add a heading row and you have a new data file.

I have two separate lists (database files) how do I make them one new
list for merging?
Thanks for the help.
