Default Creating a 'mail merge' using data (in a Range)from multiple workb

I have data in a worksheet cell range (say A1:A10 for argument's sake - and
it's NOT a list). This is replicated over numerous workbooks, all with
different names. I want to produce a report (.doc) containing the values from
cells A1:A10 from workbook 'A', then on the next line down in the report, I
want the contents of cells A1:A10 from workbook 'B', then on the next line
down in the report, the contents of cells A1:A10 from workbook 'C', and so
on. This is to be automated somehow (suggestions welcome!!), so a number of
workbooks can be selected, either graphically or progammatically, and the
process will take the data from each workbook in turn, and place it in the
report, as detailed above.
This is a little like a Mail Merge, but the data is not contained in a list
(The rows of data in A1:A10 have no headings), and the data comes from
multiple workbooks instead of just one.
If it isn't possible to do this as described, is it possible to read the
data from the separate workbooks into a list in a single worksheet, and then
do the equivalent of a mail merge into the report?
Maybe there's a piece of 3rd Party software that will do the above???!!!

Regards,
KG
