It is much easier to do it in a way that you design some kind of “tagged” template first – including all your tables and then from the code process/populate these “tags” with your data (mail merge). If your app is running on the server side, then you should not use COM Interop for this purpose but OpenXML SDK is recommended (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/atverma/archive/2011/12/31/utility-to-generate-word-documents-from-templates-using-visual-studio-2010-and-open-xml-2-0-sdk.aspx).
You can also check third parties for mail merge like Aspose or Docentric.
