Saving a Word document WITHOUT the macros attached

[Steve King]

I have many form letters which are Word documents and
contain macros that I recorded and use. After using a
form letter and filling in the individual's information I
would like to save the letter WITHOUT THE MACROS.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thank you!!!

Although Shaun has given you one solution, I have a better one. Instead of
using documents as templates, why don't you save your form documents as
templates? The macros will then be in the templates and not in the documents
you create based on them.

You are almost certainly:

1) Using macros when you should be using AutoText

2) Using documents when you should be using templates.

Once a document has macros in it, it will trigger a macro warning on any
machine that has macro security set. This is true even if you delete the
macros.

I suspect that you have used Word Perfect at some time in the past. (The two
things listed above are symptoms of this.) If so, I have some reading
suggestions for you.

In the meantime, you can create a new document without any macros and copy
the content of your old document into it. That new document will not have
macros and will not trigger a macro alert.
