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?

Are you sure it's the Mail Merge task pane and not the Reviewing pane?

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. "Suzanne S.

Interesting, since it's difficult to get Word to display the MM task bar
automatically even for Mail Merge main documents. I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions. -- Suzanne S.

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. My guess is that you have a macro addin, somewhere, that's recognizing this is a mail merge document and displaying the taskpane for you. As a test: - Make sure Outlook is not running - Hold down CTRl and start Word (= Safe mode) - Locate such a document, hold SHIFT (so no macros in the document can rung) and open it Do you still see the task pane opening?

G'day "Cass" ,
I have a big fat article on controlling Task Panes available on http://word.mvps.org. There are several solutions to your problem in it.
