the text is rather vague, I would assume that to attack with it you must concentrate on it, or you can will the spell to end before the duration is up, meaning it won't end if you cast other spells, but I am not a DM in this thread, so Larry would be able to answer your question better than I.
Mordenkainen's Sword (Evocation)
Range: 30 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Upon casting this spell, the wizard brings into being a shimmering,
sword-like plane of force. The spellcaster is able to mentally wield this
weapon (to the exclusion of all activities other than movement), causing
it. to move and strike as if it were being used by a fighter. The basic
chance for Mordenkainen's sword to hit is the same as the chance for a
sword wielded by a fighter of one-half the level of the spellcaster, e.g.,
if cast by a 14th-level wizard, the weapon has the same hit probability as
a sword wielded by a 7th level fighter. The sword has no magical attack
bonuses, but it can hit nearly any sort of opponent, even those normally
struck only by +3 weapons or those astral, ethereal,or out of phase. It
hits any Armor Class on a roll of 19 or 20. It inflicts 5d4 points of
damage to opponents of man-size or smaller, and 5d6 to opponents larger
than man-sized. It lasts until the spell duration expires, a dispet magic
is used successfully upon it, or its caster no longer desires it.
