When you start the Mail Merge process you are asked what you want as the main document, and you can then specify that it is to be the current document. Generally you would start typing the text for the main document even before beginning the mail merge process so that it can use it as the main document.

Mail merge
A placeholder in the main document that marks where a value is inserted from a source.
In a main document, merge fields are typically surrounded by special characters or delimiters that indicate where the merge field begins and ends. In Microsoft Word, for example, merge fields are often enclosed in double angle brackets, like this: «FieldName». These characters signal to the software that the text within should be replaced with data from a data source during the mail merge process. Other document processing applications may use different delimiters, but the concept remains the same.
