I have to say that here, the mail merge toolbar is not shown unless I
enabled it. It is then shown for any kind of document until I disable it
again (i.e. the appearance of the toolbar is not tied to whether the
document is or is not a mail merge main document as it was in Word 2000 and
earlier).
Can you confirnm that your experience is actually different from this? Could
you perhaps be using a template that has the toolbar configured to appear?
