You can handle the RichEditControl.MailMergeStarted event to show a progress indicator for an end-user. Register the IProgressIndicationService service in this event handler as described at RichEditControl.MailMergeStarted.

This solution is demonstrated in the following Code Examples:
How to use document variable (DOCVARIABLE) fields
How to implement progress indicator for slow RichEditControl operations

You can review them to get started.
