Do you want to merge changes?

[Linda Aldrich]

I have an end-user that is using a form template that I built on Word 2002
SP3 who gets the message "Do you want to merge changes?' when she tries to
save the newly created document (based on the template). She has 18 forms
she must go through and save them to a new folder for each patient she
see's. How can we stop that message from appearing every time?

Thanks!

The cause of this issue is Outlook is automatically add Reviewing data to
every document you attach to an email and if a document is emailed back Word
"thinks" you want to compare the original to the new copy. For more on this
issue and how to correct it takr a look at this article:

"Do you want to Merge Changes?"

Be sure to note the Update at the bottom. It contains the info you need to
prevent the message from popping up on previously created documents.
