Privacy error every time I save a certain file in Word 2007

[Chip]

Hello,

I get "Privacy error: This document contains macros, ActiveX controls, ...."
This is every time I save the file. How do I delete the offending item so
that this message goes away? It doesn't have macros... I checked.

If the document has an active VBA Project then it's considered to have
macros, even if there aren't any macros in the VBA Project.

Try saving it using a macro-free file type In Save As, select Word Document
(.docx). This should remove the VBA project.

If you need to use a Word 97-2003 file type then after you've saved it using
a .docx file type, save it back to a Word 97-2003 format.
