I have never actually done any mail merges. In the Tools
drop-down, there are seven "Mail Merge..." entries shown.
Only the second one allows any configuration. I have no
idea why the other six "Mail Merge..." entries show, or
how to delete them.

I have tried using MS/Word Help, but did not find anything
on this subject.

This problem is often the result of an Add-in used to mailmerge from
Works Suite. If that's the problem, you may be able to uninstall the
add-in using Windows Control Panel but you may lose Works-to-Word
mailmerge features.

To remove the additional entries, open Word Tools|Customize, then open
the Tools menu. You should be able to select each extra Mailmerge...
entry and drag it off the menu into oblivion (i.e. drag it somewhere
which makes it disappear).
