I installed then uninstalled Symantec WINFAX PRO 10 on my Win XP system and
even though I uninstalled WinFax, it left 3 or 4 macros in my Word 2002 macro
section. These seem to be causing a warning that €œThis document does not
have macros enabled€� or something to that effect. If I close the warning
Word will work as normal. That warning every time I open Word is a PITA. I
tried to delete the macros but word will not let me. I even UNINSTALLED WORD
AND REINSTALLED it and the darn things are still there. I read the Microsoft
info on this problem but there are so many so called fixes that I am
confused. Can someone please help me get rid of these macros in a way that
even a dummy like me can understand, so Word does not keep giving me that
macro warning?

Winfax installs an add-in in the Word or Office startup folder (see tools
templates and addins). Remove that add-in from the folder with Word closed.

I tried what you mentioned and now I seem to be getting a Microsoft Visual
Basic warning that "COMPILE ERROR IN HIDDEN MODULE WINFAX PRINT AND MERGE."

What did I do wrong or how can I fix this.

Thanks again

Actually Graham, I would not be against installing Word 2002 THEN figuring
where and how to get rid of these cursed Win fax macros, before re installing
Word again. The last time I tried that they showed up again which to say the
least got me somewhat PO'ed


Thanks

Graham didn't say anything about installing or uninstalling Word. Which,
btw, will only waste your time since the issue is attributed to a global
template. As Graham noted, go to Tools/Templates and Add-ins, select the
WinFax Pro template and note the file location at the bottom of the list
box. Then exit Word, find the template, and either delete it or move it out
of the folder to prevent it from loading when Word starts.

Note you can not simply deselect the template in the Templates and Add-ins
dialog box as it will continue to load when Word starts.

Beth I know Graham did not mention uninstalling word, but I was trying to
suggest that if a fix included that, I would not mind. IN FACT your
suggestion worked perfectly. I did not notice that the Marcro that was
checked referring to win fax had the FILE LOCATION at the bottom of the
window. I first only unchecked it but it still worked. When you mentioned
and saw the file location of the macro, I tracked it down and deleted it.

Thanks to both of you for your help.

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear you have everything working as expected
again. :-)

The file location is easy to miss - it's always the little things, isn't it?
