  You can use Word MVP Graham Mayor's free add-in Merge Many To One for this.

  You can use Word's Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge facility for this (the terminology depends on the Word version). To see how to do so with any mailmerge data source supported by Word, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
  http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/154370-Microsoft-Word-Catalogue-Directory-Mailmerge-Tutorial
  or:
  http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip
  The tutorial covers everything from list creation to the insertion & calculation of values in multi-record tables in letters. Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included with it.
   
  The field coding for this is complex. However, since the tutorial document includes working field codes for all of its examples, most of the hard work has already been done for you - you should be able to do little more than copy/paste the relevant field codes into your own mailmerge main document, substitute/insert your own field names and adjust the formatting to get the results you desire. For some worked examples, see the attachments to the posts at:

  Alternatively, you may want to try one of the Many-to-One Mail Merge add-ins, from:
  Graham Mayor (which Hans mentioned) at http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm; or
  Doug Robbins at http://bit.ly/1hduSCB 
  In addition to a 'Many to One' merge, the latter handles:
  • Merge with Charts
  • Duplex Merge
  • Merge with FormFields
  • Merge with Attachments
  • Merge to Individual Documents
  • Merge, Print and Staple
