Word macro warning

[Popeye]

Hi Everyone

I have XP Pro SP2 which is fully updated. I accessed a site using IE7,
copied some text and pasted it into Word 2003. I saved the document and,
when I reopened it, I was warned about it containing a macro. I did a virus
scan which was clear.

I enabled the macro and looked at the VBA editor but saw no code there. In
the Project pane there are "Reference to Normal" and "ThisDocument". When I
looked in the right pane of "ThisDocument", I saw DefaultOcxName,
DefaultOcxName1, DefaultOcxName2, DefaultOcxName3 etc., to DefaultOcxName15.

The text in the document was present initially in cells in tables so I
converted it from tables to text then resaved the text in a new document but
exactly the same warning was displayed when I reopened it.

Any idea what's happened? I don't like the warning when I open these
document(s). I suspect that I could retype the whole document (it would be
pointless having a copy/paste facility) and that is likely to prevent the
macro warning but I'd rather not have to do that.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Try using Find to search for graphics (^g) - that will probably show some
hidden OCX controls in your document.

If that doesn't work, try Edit->Go To and choose Any Object. Do that and
delete each one you find.

Save the file Rich Text Format (.RTF), then close it and then re-open it and
save it back as a Word document.

Thank you Renee and Doug. I suspected that there was something hidden which
was causing the problem. There are several images which illustrate the
instructions in the text. I saved the document as .rtf, reopened it and
resaved it as a .doc file and all's fine now.
