Default Saved Icon With Scroll And Exclamation Mark (Word 2007)

Hello,

Just started using MS Office Word 2007.
With XP.

Some of the icons for the saved Word documents I have saved seem to have a
scroll with an exclamation mark in the icon's
lower right hand corner.

What does this signify, please ?

Thanks,
Bib

An exclamation mark on the icon of a document or template means that it contains
macros. Unlike previous versions of Word, an "ordinary" document or template
(*.docx or *.dotx) cannot contain any macros. The macro-enabled variety (*.docm
or *.dotm) can, and they show a different icon.

If that isn't the case, then perhaps you have something else involved, such as a
document-management system.
