The data in your Word document would need some pre-processing before it would be suitable for use as a mailmerge data source, in Word or Excel.

Firstly, all the data for each record should be on one row - you have it spread out over multiple lines/paragraphs
Secondly, you would need to have the same number of fields per record - some of your records have more lines (fields) than others.
Thirdly, you'd need a header row to tell the mailmerge what each field represents.
