Template forcing SharePoint logon when trying to view doc - why?

I have a situation where users cannot view eMail attachments without filling
out a SP logon panel. The blogs say this is due to some association with the
originating template (.dot) of the Word document. This template is in
SharePoint (MOSS) created by me with Word'03. Machines are XP sp3. The
details are:
1) a MOSS list is copied into clipboard
2) a custom content type "new template" is opened in a DocLib
3) my VBA in the template is run to copy the clipboard and do some
formatting
4) the doc is saved into the DocLib as Word03 (a .doc file)
5) latter, a copy is made of the doc and saved to Desktop
6) the doc is edited a bit, resaved to Desktop as Word03
7) Outlook then sends this Desktop doc to someone

When recipient tries to open the doc, they get the SP logon panel
associated with "change users". Hitting "cancel" several times allows
doc to open, but what is going on? Why is this doc still associated
with SP? How to prevent this?

How in VBA can I kill/cancel any association back to the orginating
template, .dot?
All of this behavior happens for both Word'03 and Word'07.

PS. copyNpaste into new Word'03 doc allows users to open the eMail
attachments without any logon.
