How can I find a macro in a word document?!

15 years ago

I was editing a document, and when I opened it again, it said it had a macro. I want to delete it, but I can't find it. When I click on View, Macros, Macros In, and then pick the document, there is nothing in the list. Is there another way?

Nope, that's exactly what I wrote above. I did that. It doesn't work. Is there another way?

As a matter of fact, I made a copy of the document, then delted one section at a time, and everything was deleted, the document still said there was a macro in it! With no words, no links, no nothing! What the heck?!

I scan medical records on my computer using a optical scanner which saves the material as a .doc. I save these documents on my computer and copy sections to be printed. When I open these scanned records, many become corrupted. Not really knowing what to do about it (and too lazy to rescan), I've copied the parts I needed and pasted on a new blank document. Strangely, they always copy and paste correctly. Windows keeps telling me that a 'table' is corrupted, but I just ignore it. If you could get the document open, I would try copying it to a blank document. It works for me. Jane

Look at this link and you'll find the following in CREATE AND PRINT LABELS 9. Before you print, place your label sheets in the printer. To print the labels without saving your setup, click Print. To preview, or to save the labels in a document you can use again, click New Document. Save the document, or print the labels by clicking File > Print and clicking the Print button.

Hi naturelle, What I would do first is put the document you need to send on the desktop so you can easily browse to it. Open your E-Mail and click the attachment feature now a browse tab should open, click browse and browse to the desktop and double click the word document you need to send. It will be set as an attachment.

I have been working at finding away to change the default font on all documents since this thread started. No matter what I clicked on the starter version came up so I thought that might be my problem. I finally uninstalled MS Office Starter and MS Office Student and Home, then just reinstalled the student and home. I still could not get the font style to stay at what I set it. I thought about what was said about the 2003 version and opened a blank page, set the font and single space, went to file and chose "save as". A menu came up and I chose to saveto my desktop as MS Word 97-2003 Template (.dot) and made a shortcut, so far it has held. In case some else is still having this problem I am posting my results. None of the other ways worked for me, a new document always came up with Office's default settings.

I guess no one over here is knowledgeable or is willing to help?! Too bad. I made a copy of the document and then deleted one section at a time, trying to track down where it was, to no avail. Even with NOTHING left in the document, it still had the message. Weird.

Maybe you could get an answer at the MS Office forums.

Try copying the document to another word processor, NoteTab, clipboard, Open Office, etc., then copy from there to your MS Word to see if the phantom macro shows. Copying to Open Office then back to Word might be a better test. Otherwise, what is the problem if Word shows that there is a macro -- other than the fact that there is a "loose end?"

We don't want other people who open the document to think it is infected.
