Thanks Peter

My objective it to open the merge document (which may be based on may records)
and let the user decide whether they want to print all of them, some of them
or one of them, and if necessary save to a new document.(s).

Ideally I want the merge document to act as a template and the content be
uneditable.

Yes, that's because it is performing the merge with the output going to a
new document. If you just want it to go to a printer, use

objWord.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToPrinter

somewhere before your .Execute line.

so if I delete these lines of code can
be sure that the merge document will contain updated data (assuming the
csv
is uptodate of course.

No, because then you are not doing the merge. All that happens is that your
mail merge main document is connected to the mail merge data source and if
the document is left open, the user will be able to "preview" the results.

( It isn't completely clear what overall result you are trying to achieve )
