Do you want to merge changes

S

Steve Soerens

Microsoft Word 2003.
I receive Word documents as attachments to Outlook email messages all the
time. When i double-click the document to open it, I get the message "Do you
want to merge changes in '<document name>.doc' back into '<some other
document that I was using track changes on>.doc'?" Buttons: "Yes", "No", and
"No, and don't ask me again".

Many of these documents are "info only" type of things that I will keep as
the email for a couple days for reference and then delete the email. But
every time that I refer back to the document, I get this message. Whatever
button I select, I am always asked if I want to "save changes" when I exit.
NO - I don't want to save changes; I intend to delete the whole thing very
soon, and do not wish to clutter up my drive with a bunch of out-dated files;
nor do I want to spend the time periodically locating and purging these
things from my drives.

I would like to turn this process off. How do I do that?
