Running MS Office Pro 2007 on XP Pro notebook.  MS Word document saved as MS 
Word 2003 for the benefit of associates.

When I open a particular document, I get "Security Warning: Macros have been 
disabled."  This particular document used to have macros, which I wrote to 
facilitate some actions, but I deleted them so that associates didn't need to 
deal with the warnings.  The macros were deleted using the VBA editor window.

Although the macros have been deleted, I still get the warning.  Is there 
still some remnant of the macros?  Where would the remnant be?  Is there a 
way to clear this up?

Thanks...

Some macro storage components may have been left over.

Try this:
Select Save As and select “Rich Text Forrmat (*.rtf)” from the Save as type 
list.
Now your active document is the RTF-file.
Select Save As again. This time, select “Word Document (*.doc)” from the 
Save as type list (accept to replace existing file).

You may need to close and reopen the file in between the Save As operations 
– however, in my test, it works without doing so.

For future reference, when working in Word 2007 you can save the
original document as a *.docx file instead of a *.rtf file, then open
that .docx and save as *.doc. That will also clear out any remaining
macro components.

I don't think there's any practical difference between *.rtf and
*.docx for this purpose. It's just another path to the same result.
