Depends on the exact wording of the message - which wasn't explicitly
stated:-)

Macro do***ents (.docm) do open directly and produce no message at all.
However, opening a .dotm or generating a new .docx based on a .dotm does,
indeed, produce a mess asking whether to "Open & Remove Macros" or simply
"Open" - even the latter case renders the macro(s) neutered, of course.

AFAIK, that message cannot be disabled, whereas the warning in 2004 can be
turned off in the Security Prefs. That's why I "leaned" in that
direction:-)
