Pesty Macro Security Warning in Visio 2003 doc just won't go away! Argh!

I'm running Visio 2003 Pro.  I created an empty Macro in a visio doc. Now everytime I open the visio file, I get an annoying Macro security warning. So I delete the macro hoping to get rid of this warning. Nope, it persists. Anyone know how to get rid of the Macro security warning? I would think getting rid of the macros would do it, but no, that would be too easy, wouldn't it?  In fact, if I create even a blank visio, then add a blank empty macro and save the doc, then open it, I'll get this pesty warning. Ok, so then I delete the macro, save it and open it again - I get the warning. Now, I know I can copy/paste everything to a brand new empty visio doc, but in this case, my visio doc is 30 pages big with custom props, a custom shapes sheet and an attachment to a database, so it would be a hassle to do it. If there's a quicker way to get rid of this ridiculous warning, I'd like to know how. Please save me from this Microsoft insanity!

Useless facts:

2000 - No probs
2002 - Same Issue

If it is the same then I have found that in 2002, deleting everything from thisdocument, (i.e. option explicit as well - I default with it on) removes the warning.

Can't say if it is the same in 2003.

Not sure what you mean by "option explicit as well"?

And i forgot to mention that this visio is in a company shared folder, so if the solution were to change the security level of the visio app, that would work for just me, as I can't change the security level of everyone's computer's visio app unless I talk to AD folks about a major GPO.
At the top of my thisdocument there is some text, doesn't really matter what it is.  Have you deleted all text from this document and any user modules from the environment.

excellent! I actually had to delete the forms and other various things as well in the macro area. But it worked! Thanks!
