Word doesn't identify the document as a data source because of the superfluous data that is not a table. Remove that and it works just fine as a data source.

You could automate that with a macro that copies the table to a new document and then attaches that document to the merge document as a data source before running the merge. Or do that manually. It takes but a few moments.
