macro warning during file save

E

I get a macro security warning when performing a file/save from the menu in
Word. This occurs even with a new, blank document. It also occurs with the
file/save as menu item.

Finally, the error also occurs with the associated taskbar buttons (save,
save as). Replacing the buttons restors functionality.

How can I fix the menu items?

It sounds like some horrible third party utility has insidiously installed a
custom SaveAs macro. Have a look under Tools, Macros and see what is listed.
Also, check our the following FAQ (which also covers this sort of problem).

I agree. Especailly since everything works fine in Safe Mode. Setting the
macro security to High has ne effect on the problem.

If I go into Tools/Macro.../Macros menu item, I see nothing that looks like
a Save or SaveAs intercept. Nevertheless, I'd like to start sequentially
deleting the macros present, but the Delete option is not available (greyed
out). Also, nothing is listed in the organizer...

What can I do here?

When you start in Safe Mode, are all the macros listed in Tools, Macros in
normal operation then missing? Try accessing the macros from the Macro
Editor (Alt+F11). What is shown in Word, Startup Folder (for location, see
Tools, Options, File Locations)? All check in Tools, Templates and Add-ins
to see what is listed. One of these locations may point to the culprit.
