Hello

All the macros have been deleted from a PowerPoint document, but everytime
it is opened PowerPoint displays the ³Enable macros² dialog box.

What can I do to stop this message box appearing when there are no macros to
enable or disable?

Thanks for any help

When it asks if you want to enable macros, say no. Then save the file.
The macros should all be gone, and it shouldn't ask you again.

See this:

How do I GET RID OF MACROS I've added?

Most likely it's due to controls on a slide, or that there are code modules
still present even though there's no actual code in them. Do let us know which
it turns out to be. Thanks!
