How can I prevent the privacy warning in Excel?

I have Excel 2007. When I want to save a spreadsheet, I often see this message:

Excel privacy warning

I've seen this with macro spreadsheets (using the .xlsm extension) and with non-macro sheets (using the .xlsx extension).

How can I prevent this warning every time I save my spreadsheet?


Solution 1:

Disable document inspector in the Trust Center.

Excel Options

Step by step instructions (for 2007):

  1. Office orb
  2. Excel options
  3. Trust Center
  4. Trust Center Settings...
  5. Uncheck Remove personal information from file properties on save
  6. OK
  7. OK

Solution 2:

Try this:

Office Orb > Excel Options > Trust Center/Trust Center Settings > Document-specific Settings

Uncheck "Remove personal information from file properties on save"
