I have two excel worksheets. They contain data pertaining to two different
years.
The fields are identical. I want to merge the data from both the worksheets
side-by-side in one word document. Mail merge seems to take only one data
source for a document. Any ideas?

Combine the two worksheets into one.

Hi ?B?Uy5LdWxzaGVrYXI=?=,

It's possible, but may be more work than Doug's suggestion:

You can use MSQuery and write the SQL for a UNION query. The SQL would look
like this, for example:

SELECT `Sheet1$`.Lastname, `Sheet1$`.Firstname
FROM `C:\Test\UnionMerge1`.`Sheet1$` `Sheet1$`
UNION
SELECT `Sheet1$`.Lastname, `Sheet1$`.Firstname
FROM `C:\Test\UnionMerge2`.`Sheet1$` `Sheet1$`

You can access MS Query from the "Tools" menu in the Open Data Source dialog
box.
