Default Macros disabled warning in MS Word doc with no macros

Some macro storage components may have been left over.

Try this:
Select Save As and select €œRich Text Forrmat (*.rtf)€ from the Save as type
list.
Now your active document is the RTF-file.
Select Save As again. This time, select €œWord Document (*.doc)€ from the
Save as type list (accept to replace existing file).

You may need to close and reopen the file in between the Save As operations
€“ however, in my test, it works without doing so.

Running MS Office Pro 2007 on XP Pro notebook. MS Word document saved as MS
Word 2003 for the benefit of associates.

When I open a particular document, I get "Security Warning: Macros have been
disabled." This particular document used to have macros, which I wrote to
facilitate some actions, but I deleted them so that associates didn't need to
deal with the warnings. The macros were deleted using the VBA editor window.

Although the macros have been deleted, I still get the warning. Is there
still some remnant of the macros? Where would the remnant be? Is there a
way to clear this up?

Thanks...
