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,
SongCoyote

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:
