I take the name of the output document from the template I use to create it

Yes, my code does overwrite the output document if you specify it.....
Since you gone to the trouble to come up with that document name in code,
then I do overwrite.
If you editing some data, and you change that data, then if you merge again,
then I overwrite that document to reflect this change.
I suppose I could prompt the user, but then the existing user base would be
somewhat annoyed....
In think in many cases (like your case), if the document already exists,
then I could perhaps prompt the user to allow either an edit, or overwrite
of that document. (often, if it exists already, then one wants to edit the
document...not create a new one).
i open to suggesting here as to what you think should happen.
