Word isn't designed to do this. Some approaches are described at

http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/

Look for Mail Merge FAQ, Special Merges, Multiple items per condition.
However, be aware that you have little control over the layout when you use
a DATABASE field.

As long as you are using Word 2002/2003 you can consider using Mail Merge
events to insert the multi-row table. If you do this, you should probably
use a table with one record per letter as the mail merge data source, and
access the multi-row data using e.g. ADO from within the VBA event-handling
routines. You will at least need to have a way to count how many rows are
needed for each letter without trying to use the MailMErge.DataSource object
to move through the records. However, once you have gone that far, you might
decide it is easier to "roll your own" merge and avoid using Word Mailmerge
altogether.

Is this possible? I'm trying to create a mail merge in Word 2000 that
looks like this:

Dear fields from mail merge source

bla bla bla

multi-row table generated from data relating to mail merge source

Bla bla bla

Is this even possible or am I going to have to create this on with a
programming language on my web server?

An expedient answer is very much welcomed. As I'm going to have to report
on the feasibility of this by the end of the day.
