Why the macro prompt

[Peter T]

I created Word 2003 doc, its content copy/pasted from a web page (mainly
text in tables and some hyperlinks). When I open the doc I get the enable
macros prompt. There is no code in the project, ie no inserted modules,
nothing in ThisDocument, no references. At least I can't see any, all I did
was paste, delete some stuff and save. I don't get the prompt with any other
doc's that don't have code. Normal has one small macro that's been there for
ages.

So why the prompt?

TIA,
Peter T

If the pasted material includes an ActiveX control, or maybe just a reference to
one, that can invoke the macro warning.

To "clean" the document, save it as an RTF file, close the document and open the
RTF file, then save that as a .doc file with the original name.

That was it, a small HTMLCheckBox. When saved as RTF other text either side
of the checkbox, not visible in the doc, made it much more obvious.

Thanks Jay,
