I seem to have a ghost macro.

    I seem to have a ghost macro.

    I set up a macro in Excel to do a simple copy and paste, then later deleted
    it (half accidentally) not by using Delete in the Tools => Macros screen, but
    by clearing all the steps in the Edit Macro screen.

    Now the worksheet believes there's still a macro even though there isn't one
    on the Tools => Macros screen. Any idea how to get rid of this "ghost"?

    Thanks,

    When you record a macro, Excel creates a module in which the code is
    stored. When you delete the macro, the module is not automatically
    deleted. There are instructions here for finding and removing code:
