Yes, it is definately the mail merg task pane. That is the title at the top.
The funny part is when I open the document the first time I just get the
document alone. Any time after the first time I also get the mail merge task
pane when I open it. This is a daily report I receive through email and it
happens with every one of them if I open it more than the first time.

Are you sure it's the Mail Merge task pane and not the Reviewing pane?
That's the on people usually complain about.

Hi ?B?Q2Fzcw==?=,

I was sent a document through email and every time I open it the mail
merge
task pane opens also. How do I stop that from happening.

Which version of Word do you have? And in which version of Word was the
document created?
