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?

Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
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.
