Office X - Removing Macro Warning in Template

[JD]

Hi folks,
I've developed a template for use across a clients' global offices. To
create it I created a few keyboard customizations so the dang thing
triggers the macro warning every time I open it to modify it. I'm
about to ship it off and have gone into the keybard customization
panel and done a "reset all" to eliminate my customizations and
deleted the toolbar I made. Unfortunately the pesky warning won't go
away.

I've checked in the Organizer and there are no customizations/macros
listed for this template anywhere. How do I make it disappear? Or am I
stuck with it having once customized (even though I returned it to the
default)?
Thanks in advance,

Hi JD,

I'm not very macro-savvy but try this just in case the problem is in the
document: Copy all but the very last paragraph mark and paste into a blank
new Word document. Any help? If not, then it's a macro issue and someone
else will have to help.

Hi JD:

Beth's solution is the ONLY solution.

The warning is triggered by the fact that the template has "ever" had
customisations. Basically, once you customise the template to instantiate
the VBA or Toolbars or Keyboard projects, and that's what the warning looks
for.

It's too complex to figure out from the contents of those projects (internal
storage locations in the template) what the customisations do. So the
warning appears if they "exist".

Hope this helps

Ah, gotcha... not a warning that it actually contains something, just
that it has "been touched". Whoo. OK, a-copying I will go.

Thanks much!

One more question for future reference -- For a long document with
bells and whistles: would this copy/paste into new doc solution be
better done before or after indexing the doc? Or would it matter?

Hi JD:

If when you say "indexing" you actually mean "indexing", it wouldn't matter.

The operation (often referred to as "Doing a Maggie") "can" cost you 'some'
headers, footers, style definitions, and numbering definitions. It won't
necessarily do so, but it "can".

But Index tags are safe.

Cheers
