Can Restrict Editing be applied to a mail-merge document?

I am using  MS Word 2010.  I would like to apply "Restrict Editing" to a mail-merge document, however, that feature is does not enable when I select it.  What am I doing wrong?

You will need to use a macro to apply protection to a mail merge main document.

 

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyReading

Hope this helps,
