prevent template macros copying to new documant

I have macros in a template used to create a specific naming convention when
saved. I do not want these templates in the newly created document. Is it
possible to set Word to not copy the macros? If so how?

Please respond to my email address preflyght-1@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Unless you go to extraordinary lengths, macros are not copied to a document
based on a template.

However, since the template is still attached to the document, the macros
will be available in the document. If your macros are stored in a custom
document template you can make them unavailable to the document by attaching
the normal.dot template to the document. Tools > Templates and Add-Ins...

All:
I was just (over last several days) discussing this concern w/Perry.
I finally found what I wanted by the following...
This code doesn't remove anything from the .DOT -- it just breaks any
association between the .DOC and the "master" .DOT.

Sub Document_Close()
If ActiveDocument.Type = wdTypeDocument Then
With ActiveDocument
.AttachedTemplate = ""
End With
MsgBox "Thanks for your patronage."
End If
End Sub

Good day,
Warren
