Excellent observation. If I create my merge fields to an excel spreadsheet
in a DOC file, it does not prompt. If I use a template to create the
document, it prompts. So for the million dollar question, is there a way to
turn it off if you have a template other than "cleaning" the document?

If you want to e-mail the /result/ of the mailmerge, then merge to a new
document and send that. The new document should not be connected to a merge
data source, unless (unfortunately) it is attached to a template that is
connected to a data source, in which case things may be different.

If you want to send a Word mailmerge main document, you'll have to
disconnect the data source before you e-mail it. In all cases, changing the
document type from e.g. Form Letters to "Normal Word Document" (e.g. by
using the MailMerge toolbar) will disconnect the data source, lose any
filter/sort settings, but retain all fields.

How do I suppress the Reconnect to database when a document created with
mailmerge is sent outside the company?
