I have a dot (document template) that has created a file for
me and I have save the resulting document as a ".doc" not a ".dot"
Now everytime I try and open up the doc it asks me if I want to enable
macros or disable macros.. is there anyway to delete the link from
the dot to doc that it created?
 
Hi Doman

You can change the link from the .doc to its template using Tools >
Templates and Add-ins. If you don't want the document to be attached to any
specific template, attach it to Normal.dot.

If you do this you will also lose access to any toolbars, AutoTexts and
similar items stored in the original .dot, so check that this is really what
you want to do. An alternative would be to move the .dot to your templates
directory (check Tools > Options > File locations to find it) and make sure
that Tools > Macro > Security has 'Trust all installed add-ins and
templates' checked on the Trusted sources tab. This will prevent the
message, without changing your security setting or losing the link to the
..dot. (Word will automatically find and reattach the template if it is in
the templates folder.)

BTW you seem to have posted this to a very large number of newsgroups,
including some that are no longer maintained by MS - follow up set to
docmanagement only
 
Thank-you Margaret.. I apologize for the multiple posting but I am,
although not new to the newsgroups, never the less a novice at this
posting for advice stuff.. I generally just read
