when I open a specific doc the info bar at the top says "Macros have been
disabled", but when I hit Alt+F11 I can't find any VB or a module to remove.
Why is it telling me about macros? Other docs don't give me this prompt.
I thought I might have to enable macros to see the code. When I enabled
macro, it said "do you want to save changes to this doc?" it flickered and
came back as if immediately reopened.
Any ideas?
I could copy and paste the text into a new doc but I'd be interested to be
able to strip off this problem. The doc is an internal IT procedure so
unlikely anyone's been doing anything suspect intentionally.

That warning can be triggered by certain "leftovers" after macros are
removed from a document, or by minor file corruption.

To get rid of it, use the File > Save As command and set the file type
to Rich Text Format (*.rtf). Save the file with the same name but the
..rtf extension. Close and reopen the .rtf file, and again use Save As
to save it back to Word document (*.doc) format. Because RTF doesn't
retain any macro-related information, the document will be clean.
