Merge Updates

[Sam]

I have a client that has a Word doc on their website. When the office
personel clicks on the link to open the file from the web, after it
comes up, they are aked if they want to merge updates with the file
that is on the local drive. Quoted from their query to me: "...keeps
trying to tie to our M: Drive copy and asks to merge updates."

Is there a way to stop this promt from asking them to merge?

I am told that it was originally created as a master document.

Thanks,
Sam
