First, let me say that if you know very little about macros, you may know
too little to decide whether a macro is wanted or needed. So please be
careful. Anyway ...
In W2007, any document with the docx extension cannot contain macros.
Those with the docm extension can contain macros. For a .doc document, you
can try to save it as a .dotx. If Word allows a save as .dotx, the file
contains no macros.
You could also look in the macros dialog. Press Alt+F8 (the F8 function key)
to open the dialog. Click the arrow to the right of the input box after
"Macros in:". And from the drop-down list click the name of the document
(or template) you are in. If the list macros box is empty, there are no
macros in the document.
Note, though, that macros in an attached document template and any add-on
templates that are not in **trusted locations**, can trigger the message your
users are seeing.

You may be right, but that doesn't answer my question of how to find out
whether a document has an unwanted macro in it.
Does anybody out there know how to tell whether there's a macro in a
document or know where to find it?
Your users should not be opening the templates. Rather, they should be
using FileNew and then selecting the appropriate template as the basis for
