How do I remove all macros from a Visio document?

[Carl]

How do I delete all macros (they were made for test only - and are not used
any more in my document) - so that I don't have to answer the security
notice about enable/diasble macros?

 

[John Marshall, MVP]

I'm doing this from memory, but the procedure should be to save as a VDX;
open the file as a text file and delete the VBProjectData section.

Don't forget to make a backup of the file before you try this.

OK - that sounds kind of complicated....

I had hoped to find something like in Access where you can "uncheck" a "has
module" property - doing that removes all code.

I guess I'll just copy my shapes to a blank document. Can I copy an entire
page?

You can also do the following:

1. Select the Tools>Macros...>Macros... menu item.
2. Click on the "Edit" button (this should open up the VBA editor).
3. In the Project treeview, open up the Modules branch.
4. Right click on the available modules (I think the default is "Module1")
and select the "Remove..." option.
5. It will prompt you to export the module. You can select No here if you
don't care about the macros.
6. Close the VBA editor and save the diagram. You should not get the
security prompt any more.

There were no modules to delete in VBA editor, so that method didn'
work, but the VDX method worked perfectly (and wasn't too painful )
