macros in this project have been disabled - DIE WORD

[Kuciwalker]

Suddenly my little brother, when he tries to save, gets this "macros in this project have been disabled". There are no macros in his document. It won't let him save. How do I fix this?

How big/simple is the document? Can he highlight, copy & paste into another document, then save it?

On that note, why can't MS Word have an option to just completely remove macros on installation, since I've never seen them cause anything but pain and suffering?

If he opens a new document, it has the same problem.

Try locating and deleting the MS Word template, it'll then recreate a fresh one, probably trouble-free. What version of Office/Word? XP?

XP Office templates are in C\Docs & Settings\username\templates.

Also, if he's worried about losing the work, highlight, copy & paste into Wordpad or Notepad for now.

Thank you.

The problem was, it turns out, my little brother tried (not entirely successfully) to install some old voice recognition software we have, and it created a template full of macros - but when he unistalled the software, it didn't remove the template
