Can't delete macros from Word 2007 template
I'm creating a Word 2007 template based on a Word 2003 template that had
macros in it. I no longer want the macros. There are no macros listed in the Macros dialog, and no Macro Project Items listed in the Organizer dialog. Still, whenever I double-click the .dotx file to start a document based on the template, I get a series of dialog boxes asking for document name, etc. I even tried saving to a .rtf and then resaving as .dotx. The macros are still there--where are they hiding? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, FinnLisa |

Can't delete macros from Word 2007 template
DOTX format does not support macros. Are you sure that there are not
ask/fillin fields prompting for data? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "FinnLisa" wrote in message ...

Can't delete macros from Word 2007 template
You're right--I finally figured out that they must be fields prompting for
data. I still can't figure out how to get rid of them, though. -- FinnLisa "Graham Mayor" wrote: DOTX format does not support macros.

Alt+F9 to display field codes, then use F11 to jump from field to field
