Merge-back-to-file problem with word attachement in outlook

[Tony Wei]

Hi,

I used outlook 2002 to send a word attachement but the
receipents of the email complained that when they opened
the word attachement, it always poped up a dialog box
saying:

do you want to merge changes in xxx.doc back to
mydocuments\....\xxx.doc

and there are three buttons to choose: "yes", "no", "no,
and don't ask again".

This problem happens to only one word file and other
files have no problem. I'm using office XP.

Please help to remove this dialog box. Thanks a lot!

Tony

This is probably because of a thing called the AdHocReviewCycleID Property -
to remove it, open the document in Word 2002, open the
File|Properties|Custom tab, then in the Properties window, find and select
the Name _AdHocReviewCycleID then click Delete.
