You can't jump around like this in Word mail merge, or use disparate sections supplied from the same data source.

You are going to have to create (or get someone to create for you) a custom VBA process to populate the document from your data source. You will probably have to use a two column table for the top section, but snaking columns should work for the lower section.

The document suggests that there are 15 pages in total and the demo page is page 2. Anyone working on this would need to consider how the rest of the pages were formatted.

It is doable but it would be a lot of work to get right, and would require access to the data source, which would not be appropriate for a public forum.
