Default using two sources

I am creating an orientation handbook that will be unit specific. The data
source is an Access database which is merged to a Word document. Some sample
data would include a welcome from the unit director, where the Biomedical
Service log is at, how assignments are handed out. I have two campus to deal
with. There is some information that is going to be information that is
different for each building. For example directions to the cafeteria or
location of the laboratory.

I have the basic merge set up with the unit specific information. I will
also put which building the unit is in in the base table. I figure that I can
set up IF statements and put the something like { IF Building = SAH, "The
cafeteria is on the ground floor", "The cafeteria is on the subbasement
level."} I have to work on syntax. My problem is that if I was to leave the
institution a replacement may not know how to deal with the mail merge IF
statements. Thereby no know how to get into the IF statements and correct
material that needs to be updated.

Is there a way to connect one document to two different sources? Any ideas
would be appreciated. Thank you.
