Word can only use a single flat file as a datasource. You will therefore
need to combine the datasources.

There's some things that I am not sure about. How many "documents" are
created by executing the first merge? If it is just one, then mailmerge is
probably not the thing to be using to create it.

I am using Word XP. I used to use WordPerfect DOS and was able to complete
a
dopuble merge and assume the more sophisticted WOrd can do the same. I
need
to create a document which incorporates 2 separate data bases. The first
merge creates the document with one data base; the second merge is a more
standard mail merge with names and addresses. None of the "Word Inserts"
seems to apply. Is there a way to create merge codes which survive the
first
merge so they can be used in the second merge? The merge fields are
different between the first and second merge.
