Macro Warning
Hi All,
I have recently migrated from Office Pro 2003 and XP Pro to Office Pro 2007 and XP Pro. I have a document which is warning me about macros when opened in Word. I have never written a Macro for the documet and when I go to View....Macros....View Macros, there are no macros in the document. Please can someone advise on what best to do. Many thanks in advance, Bill |

Macro Warning
There could be a macro on a template (usually the Normal.dot) and not on the
document you have open. Word has many built-in Macros that could have this warning if your Security setting is too high. Check in Tools, Macro, Security or the equivalent in 2007.

Many thanks in advance, Bill Word doesn't actually look for a macro when deciding whether to show that warning; it's really looking for some bits in the file that indicate there *may* be a macro. The bits it's seeing may simply be the result of random damage. To "clean" the file, open it (it doesn't matter whether you choose Disable or Enable in the warning) and save it as an RTF file by changing the setting in the "Save as type" box of the Save As dialog. Word will tell you that macros will be lost, so click Continue. Now save the RTF document as a .doc file. That file should open without warnings and have all the formatting of the original. Assuming everything is ok, you can now delete the original and rename the new copy with the old name. -- 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. |

Macro Warning
Hi Folks,
First of all to both of you, many thanks. I tried Jay's solution first because I am running 2007 and it seemed to be the "easiest" Jay, it worked perfectly and the document appears 100% when converted back to a 2003 .doc file. Once again my thanks to both of you for your suggestions and the solution.
