I use an Excel document to merge my students' scores into
a Word doc which I use as a periodic report for their
grades. It works beautifully when it's open and doing its
job, except that when I started using Word 2003, whenever
I open the document, I see a prompt asking if it's OK to
insert data from the appropriate worksheet into this
document. This is a little annoying because the doc was
saved that way so why should I have to say OK again to
open it; but it's not that big of a deal to click the Yes
button. The biggest annoyance comes in that it does not
insert the data from that worksheet, rather it starts me
from square one, prompting for the merge file way back in
My Data Sources. My questions: Why does it take me
through this complete process when the file opens, and is
there a way to turn off this prompt?

This sounds like the new security prompt? See if this KB
