macro problem with Word 2001

[ccg]

Whenever I attach a Word 2001 document to an email and send it to
someone using PC, the PC user's computer interprets the macros as a
virus.

How can I a) disable macros on Word or b) send it in a way that the PC
will not interpret it as a virus?

Thanks for any help

Hi

Unless you are intentionally making Word documents with Macros it is almost
certain that you are indeed sending documents that have a virus.

If your Word documents are supposed to have macros, then your audience needs
to adjust the security settings on their computer in Word (Tools > Options >
Security > Macro Security).

If you are not intentionally creating documents with Macros then it's time
to disinfect your computer using a good anti-virus program.
