I am trying to create a document using two different data sources one that
contains the text information and one that contains the pictures. Howdo you
create a merge with multiple data sources?

You combine them into one merge source and then merge.

How would you expect Publisher to know which records corresponded to which?

Also, before going any further, you do realise that your "pictures" must
actually be the plaintext paths pointing to where the images are stored on
your hard drive, right?

The pertinent sentence:
If you plan to merge photos into your catalog pages, you will need to type the path
for each picture file that you plan to use in the appropriate column or data field of
your data source.
