Default Merging data from multiple forms w/multiple fields into one databa

Hello nice people - At my job we do a lot of phone interviews, and we
generally take notes in Word documents as we go. The interviews are
structured, so there are specific questions we ask in a specific order. There
might be 30 interviews for a given project, each in its own Word document,
each document with the same questions in the same order. After the interviews
are all done, we need to analyze them, and I'd like to be able to quickly
merge all of the interview documents into one Word document that's organized
by question. So, all the answers to question 1, then all the answers to
question 2, etc., in the same order as they appear in the interview
questionnaire. Right now I have to cut and paste the answers from multiple
interviews into one document by hand and it's very tedious and
time-consuming. Is there a way to automate this using forms and mail merge?
I've looked at other questions and answers in this forum and in FAQs on the
Microsoft site, and can't find an answer. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris C.
