Is there an office app that does both mail merge and form fields?

My office has been looking for a while for a software application that allows
users to create documents with both mail merge and fillable form fields. For
example, let's say we needed 100 different card holders to answer questions
about certain credit card transactions. We'd like to be able to create 100
indvidual documents with some data already merged in - such as the card
holder name, date of transation, merchant ID, and so forth. And we'd also
want those documents to have spaces for the card holders to answer questions
about the tranaction identfied by the merged data. We'd then like to be able
to import all that infomration into a database program.
Looking at the queries posted on the Word discussion groups, it seems like a
lot of people are looking for this combination of functionality. Has anyone
solved this problem? Is there an Office application that allows both mail
merge and form field functionality in a single document? I was initially
looking at InfoPath, but it seems InfoPath doesn't allow mail merge.
