I tried to write a small macro for Word which finally proved of no use; and I got rid of it.


But since then, whenever I open Word, in the usual way from the usual icon, there appears, on top, the colored security warning bar saying that the macros have been deactivated; so that I have to click “activate contents”.
I check my Normal.dotm, template file (at C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ Templates) and notice that it now has the date of the day I tried that macro, no longer existent. And that location, of course, is listed on my Word's Options>>>>, as a trusted confidence location.
How can I avoid that unneeded security warning?
Thanks in advance.

It appears that something is attempting to be loaded as an Add-In that is macro-enabled. It would not be your normal template given that file's location in a trusted location.

If you enable macros and press Alt+F8 for a listing of macros, what do you see?
The normal template is always a macro-enabled template.

Once any document or template has a macro, Word treats it as having macros, even if they are all deleted.


Add-Ins are stored in one of Word's Startup Folders. Those should be made trusted locations if they are not.
