Default How to use two tables as data sources in Word 2003

You cannot. What you must do is create a Select Query in access that
combines the necessary fields from the tables and then use that Query as the
data source.

You may also need to use the information in fellow MVP Macropod's "Word
97-2007 Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge
Tutorial" at:

http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=731107

or

http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip

Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included
with it as you must get the mail merge main document set up exactly as
required.

But if that is the case, you should also consider using an Access Report.
