Default Macros In This Project Are Disabled

Really, the question is, what is "Auto_Close"?

I just installed Word 2003, and was poking around with macros. I
clicked on Tools Macros and saw 4 items in the list of macros. The
first is called Auto_Close, and was supposedly created by me on the day
Word 2003 was installed. The other 3 are related to a Palm desktop
application.

If any of these are selected, the Edit button is grayed out, and if I
select Step Into or Run, I get the VBA error "Macros In This Project Are
Disabled." Help is not too helpful.

VBA Help says "You opened the document with Macros Disabled. Close the
document, and then reopen it with Enable Macros." I have no clue how to
"reopen with Enable Macros".

Word Help is not much better. It says to make sure that VBA is
installed (it is).

I did an Office repair install to no avail. I set the macro security
level to low, also no help. The box to "Trust all installed add-ins and
templates" is checked. I checked the box to "Trust access to Visual
Basic Project", also no help. (I've since reset the macro security level
to high and unchecked the "Trust access .." box).

Finally, out of frustration, I created a macro (I copied the code to
display installed fonts from KB 209205). This works fine. I can Run
it, Edit it, or Step Into it.

So, there seems to be nothing wrong with my installation. But what is
"Auto_Close", and why can't I edit it or otherwise see what it is? And
why can't I edit or otherwise view those Palm macros?
