Merging one document with two lists

[Etta]

Is there a way to merge one document with two data sources at the same time?
Or do you have suggestions on how to solve the following problem?

I have a Word document (Cover Sheet) that needs to merge with two separate
data sources. The Cover Sheet has a title bar containing a Form's Title and
Form Number, as well as a table containing ten rows into which a series of
numbers need to be merged.

I have one source document that contains a list of forms and their form
numbers, and a second source document that contains fields for series of
control numbers -- Control#1, Control#2, Control#3, Control#4, Control#5,
Control#6, Control#7, Control#8, Control#9, Control#10.

Ultimately, the merged Cover Sheet would contain a unique Form Title and
Form Number in the title bar and control numbers in the table (ex. 00001
through 000010).

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Word can only use a single, flat data source for mail merge.

Sounds like you are trying to perform a "multiple items per condition (=key
field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do:
