Macro warning when using Word 2003 in XP Pro

[Guest]

Hi Everyone

I have XP Pro SP2 which is fully updated. I accessed a site using IE7,
copied some text and pasted it into Word 2003. I saved the document and,
when I reopened it, I was warned about it containing a macro. I did a virus
scan which was clear.

I enabled the macro and looked at the VBA editor but saw no code there. In
the Project pane there are "Reference to Normal" and "ThisDocument". When I
looked in the right pane of "ThisDocument", I saw DefaultOcxName,
DefaultOcxName1, DefaultOcxName2, DefaultOcxName3 etc., to DefaultOcxName15.
The text in the document was present initially in cells in tables so I
converted it from tables to text then resaved the text in a new document but
exactly the same warning was displayed.

Any idea what's happened? I don't like the warning when I open these
document(s). I suspect that I could retype the whole document (it would be
pointless having a copy/paste facility) and that is likely to prevent the
macro warning but I'd rather not have to do that.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Best asked in a Microsoft Word / Microsoft Office newsgroup.

Thank you. I wasn't sure whether it was related to Word 2003 or the enhanced
security in XP Pro. I'll follow your suggestion.
