The macros will _not_ be executed and you won't find out why if the security
is set to high.

they reset their level back to high because it made no difference which
security level was chosen...the macros were never being
executed.......does
anyone else have an idea why?

I had them set their macro secruity level to low and it made no
difference.
Not being able to view the macros is really not the problem, it's the
inability to call the macro that is causing the document to
fail..........

Any chance they have their security on the new machines set to the
default
"High" which would disable the macros without notice. Not sure what
that
would do to trying to view macros.

yes, they have been working for over 2 months now, it's just since
they
rebuilt their machine that this has become a problem

Are you sure that the macros are supposed to be in the document and
not
in
the template (or your normal.dot)?

I have a word doc (2003) which contains two macros. The
Document_Open() event calls one of the macros. Everything has
been
fine until recently. Several of my users have had to rebuild
their
machines including upgrading to XP and installing Office 2003.
Now
when they open the word doc they get a VBA compile error saying
the
macro name is not defined. When I look at the doc the macros are
there...I have the users to go ToolsMacroMacro and they do
not
see the two macros contained in the doc. They have emailed the
doc
to me and I can see the macros, but they cannot. Is there some
default in word somewhere where you need to enable macros? Their
macro security is set to Medium, we tried setting it to low, but
that
didn't make any difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
