I have a document template and have incorporated several macros (saved in just the document). I'd like to be able to make it so that when the user saves the filled out template as their own document (it'll have a new name of course)the new document has all the macros removed.

If the template really is a template and not a document, when new documents
are created from the template those documents do not contain the macros.
They remain in the template. Resaving existing documents with new names is
bad practice and will lead to loss of wanted documents.

I am saving it as a Word macro enabled template- when the new document is opened, if I go into VBA, the macro's are still there, under the original template, but not under the document.

That's how templates work!

From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on
If you move the document to another computer on which the template is not
available, the reference to the original template will be changed to
reference to the Normal.dot (dotm) template and the macros will not longer
be present or available.
