I am struggling with how I disable the Disbale/Enable Macros dialogue box in
Word, for a particular document. I have deleted all of the macros and deleted
the Modules and still the box appears. Is there a way to permanently disable
this diaologue box so that global users of my document are not prompted to
respond to this each time they open the document?

Save the document as an RTF file. Close the original document, open the RTF
file, and save that as a Word document file. That removes the invisible bits
that tell Word there is or was a macro in the document.
