I put the macro "FormatTable" into the template "Bao.dot" and attach it to the Master.doc (the main document).  I also removed all the macros off Master.doc to avoid confusion.  After the mailmerge, when I tried to run the macro in the new document' a strange thing happened: in the macros dialog box, the RUN button got gray out when the Macros in dropdown says "All active templates and documents".  I had to change the dropdown to point to "Bao.dot" in order to run the macro "FormatTable"

    Try putting your macro in the template that is the attached template of you
    Master.doc. That should be the attached template for your merge result do
    as well
