Default Folder Shortcuts / Word 2003 / Mail merge Fields / Odd Issue Advic

A Network Shared Folder named "Letters" containing Word Documents.

Each computer on the network has a desktop shortcut to the "Letters Folder"

Problem
On one computer when the documents in the "Letters" folder are accessed by
the shortcut or by browsing to the "Letters" folder......when opened there
are merge fields for date and address and salutation inserted.
All the other computers open without these merge fields.

Question
The merge fields are not wanted.
The path of the "Letters" folder has been confirmed to be the same on all
computers via the shortcut properties and the "Letter" folder properties?

Can anyone tell me why the documents would be opening with merge fields,
when everyone is accessing the same folder and documents.....
What a am I overlooking here?
