The code does create a document, and it is returned from execute(). The result of the execute depends on the OutputType, and in a boolean indicating success, except for css.text.MailMergeType.SHELL, in which case it returns a XTextDocument.

Try using

> doc = mm.execute(Array())

and inspect the doc object.

I apologize for unclear description I gave in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/c-s-s-text-mailmergetype-shell-4/80148/2.
