Doc has no macros, but I'm prompted to enable/disable macros

[Guest]

I have a large Word file that contains many tables,
graphics, etc. - but no links, and no macros.

However, when I open the file, Word informs me that the
document does contain macros, and asks if I want to enable
or disable them.

I can choose enable or disable, it doesn't matter. The
point is that the document neither contains any macros,
nor is it supposed to - yet Word prompts me to
enable/disable them each time I open the file.

If I go to Tools/Macro/Macros, and select "Macros in" the
document, it confirms that there are no macros there. I'm
not having any virus issues whatsoever. I just want to
know if there could be any macros "hidden" in the
document, or if they may reside somewhere that I'm not
seeing them, and how to delete them. Thanks!

Check your security setting: Tools, Macro, Security. You
can set it lower to avoid these messages.

Did you, at any time since creating this document, insert
something from the Controls Toolbox or insert a macro module
into the document project?

Once something has activated the macro area, the document
will trigger the macro security warning even after that
something has been deleted. The only way to get rid of the
warning, after such "somethings" have been deleted, is to
select all but the last paragraph mark and copy/paste to a
new document.
