Macros disabled warning in MS Word doc with no macros
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... |

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 €śRich Text Forrmat (*.rtf)€ť from the Save as type list. Now your active document is the RTF-file. Select Save As again. This time, select €śWord Document (*.doc)€ť 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. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Earthman" wrote: Running MS Office Pro 2007 on XP Pro notebook.

Macros disabled warning in MS Word doc with no macros
For future reference, when working in Word 2007 you can save the
original document as a *.docx file instead of a *.rtf file, then open that .docx and save as *.doc. That will also clear out any remaining macro components. I don't think there's any practical difference between *.rtf and *.docx for this purpose. It's just another path to the same result. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
