Word 2003 Macros

How do I delete an old macro that is not in the macro list?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

If you know the name of the macro, create a new one with the same name (it
doesn't have to do anything) and then delete it.

I tried, it didn't work

How do you know the macro exists? I assume you're getting a message of some
sort? If the message says that some other procedure is trying to call the
macro unsuccessfully, then that makes sense if it doesn't exist. What you
need to get rid of is the (presumably) add-in that's trying to call it,
since there's a good chance you don't need the add-in, either. Post back
with more details about exactly what's happening to make you ask this
question.

I created 2 macros for a class I was taking
They never gave me a problem so I never errased them
Now my office was upgraded to 2003 and everytime I open word I get the
message 'The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer to the online
help or documentation of the host application to determine how to enable
macros.'
I went to online help and was shown how to delete macros
The only problem is, when I go to the list of macros these macros are not
listed

The message that you're getting is probably entirely unrelated to your old
macros. It probably refers to an add-in that is loading at Startup. Go to
Tools | Macro | Security and set your security level to Medium. On the
Trusted Sources tab, check the box for "Trust all installed templates and
add-ins." This will take care of all your user templates and workgroup
templates and any add-ins in Word's Startup folder. Unfortunately, the trust
does not extend to the Office Startup folder, so you may get a macro warning
from one of those, but you will find out which one it is, you will be able
to enable the macros if you choose, and you may be given an opportunity to
"Trust all add-ins from [the specific source]."

It is a startup program called 'PDFWriter97.dot'
How can I get rid of it?

Just delete it from the Startup folder. This is an old freebie add-in that
doesn't work in Word 2003 (obviously it was intended for Word 97).
