Hello,

I have two macros installed on my Word and I'd like to remove them. They're slowing down my Word files.

One of them is an Acrobat tool to transform to and from pdf.

The other belongs to Systran. I contacted them for help but they didn't answer.
Systran add-up doesn't even work and I can't uninstall it from Control Panel as it gives me an error message.

Thanks
Nadia

(Modèles et compléments in French, just below the Macro option).
Untick the boxes you wish. If they are in the Word startup folder (the path is stated in the dialog box), they may be ticked again next time you open Word. You can move them from the startup folder to another location so that thay don't load at startup, or delete altogether the add-ins you don't use.

remove macros from Word - does not work Mar 9, 2011

I have a problem with macros installed by my bluetooth mouse and Foxit Phantom (a good cheap alternative to Acrobat). They do not show in the usual macro locations, and I do not know how to remove them. Any ideas?
