I ran the document inspector on an Excel document. It found document properties, so I told it to remove them. Now every time I try to save that document, I get a message saying something like this:

Privacy warning: This document contains macros, ActiveX controls, XML expansion pack information, or Web components. These may include personal information that cannot be removed by the document inspector.

I get this message every time I save the document.

Is there any way to get rid of it?
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
That did it. Thanks.

Apparently, that setting gets turned on if I ask the inspector to remove all personal information. This does not happen in Word.
