I have added an button to the mail merge toolbar that runs a macro. When I
merge to a document the native button on the tool bar become inactive but the
'custom' button does not. Is there a way I can disable the custom button so
it is not available on the merged document?

Thanks for any help.

A custom button saved in a template will be available to the template and
documents created from it. If you want the macro it calls to only run in a
merge source document then add a line or two to the start of the macro

If ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdNotAMergeDocument Then
MsgBox "This function is for mail merge source documents only",
vbExclamation, "Not a merge document"
Exit Sub
End If

The MsgBox line is optional.
