When opening a word attachment from Outlook, I get a Microsoft Office Word
message that asks me if I want to merge change in that file back into the
field I have on my computer. I have three options, Yes, No, No,and don't ask
again. I have selected No, don't ask again many times but each time, I get
this message. Where is the setting where I can turn off this option to ask
this question? Thank You..
 
You need to change a setting in Word's Options.

Go to Tools | Options | Security tab
Uncheck "Store Random Number to Improve Merge Accuracy"
Click OK

This setting will stick for all NEW documents but you would need to uncheck
it for previously created documents as well.
 
I found and unchecked the setting but I am still getting this message with
old and/or new attachments.
