Default blank Word document in Mail Merge

When using Mail Merge within Outlook 2003, a blank Word document opens up -
in addition to the merge file expected. Why does this happen? How can I
prevent it?

Default blank Word document in Mail Merge

From within a Contacts List in Outlook2003, I choose a view. Then I go go
Tools...Mail Merge. I choose an existing document and browse to it (a .dot
file) . Then click OK. Word opens. A blank document opens. Then the merge
document opens and I can merge. I'm just always left with an unneeded blank
document.

Hope you can help.

I've tried to duplicate this and can't so I don't know what the cause might be. You could always see if running Help | Detect and Repair fixes it.
