Word 2007 - new/empty document contains macros? "Walter Cohen" <w_cohen[ at ]hotmail.com> 4/14/2007 9:35:52 PM Weird....when I launch Word 2007 and want to start a new document I always receive a pop-up warning/error: "The document contains macros. Macro language support for this application is disabled. Features requiring VBA are not available. Would you like to open this document read-only?" This is just a blank Document1. Why would I be getting this error by just launching Word? My macro settings for Word are "disable all macros with notification". More importantly, how do I go about eliminating it? Walter

"Beth Melton" <bmelton[ at ]mvps.org> 4/14/2007 10:24:19 PM It could be you have macros in your Normal template, or a global template, that contains either an AutoNew macro or Document_New macro that is attempting to run and you don't have VBA installed. Check Add/Remove Programs and modify the Office installation. In Office Shared Features do you have Visual Basic for Applications set to Not Available?

Re: Word 2007 - new/empty document contains macros? jaredharley <jaredharley[ at ]gmail.com> 5/6/2007 4:41:35 AM I had the same issue and found out it was being caused by my installation of Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0. If you have this and don't need the integration into MS Office, you can do a "change/ modify" on the installation and when you get to the installation options, mark all of the Office products as "not available". This cleared my problem right up.
