Set myDoc = Documents.Add
myDoc.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdCatalog

This example determines whether the active document is a main document for a mail merge operation, and then it displays a message in the status bar.

Set doc = ActiveDocument
If doc.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdNotAMergeDocument Then
    StatusBar = "Not a mail merge main document"
Else
    StatusBar = "Document is a mail merge main document.
End If
