Word Table and Mail Merge Help

[Malto]

My boss is trying to create a standard letter with a few fields that will change depending on who the letter is addressed to. This would be perfect for a mail merge, except that my boss would like the table to be in same document as the standard letter. Since you can't create a mail merge from the same document that you are working in I’m finding this task difficult.

So again, I would like to create a word table at the top of a word document that would be linked to a standard letter below with a few fields in the letter that will auto-update with the data in the word table at the top of the document. Is this possible?
