No macros, but still prompted to enable them

[Horatio J. Bilge, Jr.]

I have a file that prompts me to enable macros when I open it, even though
there are no macros in the file.

It was created with a template, and the template had an AutoNew() sub, but
the last line of the AutoNew() sub was supposed to remove the macros:
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate = NormalTemplate

Now when I open the file, I am prompted to enable macros. In the visual
basic editor, all that appears is "ThisDocument" with no code, and "Reference
to Normal."

Where is the macro warning coming from?

Save the file in .rtf format, close it, then re-open it and re-save it in
..doc format. The way in which you describe it as having been created would
not have caused this problem.

Thank you for the solution - I just wish I knew how the macro got there in
the first place.
