Enable/Disable/Do Not Open

[Kerri Esten]

Help!

I'm using Microsoft Excel X on a Mac running OS 10.3.2. Every time I open an
Excel document I get the message to either Enable macros, Disable macros, or
do not open the document -- and I never record macros, so I have none in my
documents. Naturally I choose to disable macros.

This works fine for ME, but when I email my .xls document to another person,
especially my husband who's using Windows 98, that person gets a virus
warning (from MacAfee) and must clean the file before opening.

I recently read an Excel tip that said how to remove that "macro virus," but
unfortunately did not need the information at the time and deleted it.

Anyone know how to remove this "virus"?

Hi

The simple, easy way is to install and run an anti-virus program such as
Norton Anti-Virus.

This article applies to Excel X as well as earlier versions.

There's no "Normal" file in Excel, so you don't have to worry about any
references to that file.
