Disable macros in Word if no idea of host application
I use Word 2003. Everytime when I open MS Word I get the note saying that
macros are disabled and to refer to the host aplication. I have no idea what the host application could be because I have written this word document myself, saved it on my own computer and the next time I opened this document, I got this message. How do I turn this annoying message off?? Because it appears every time I open any word document now. |

Disable macros in Word if no idea of host application
Hi Ursula:
If it's only that document, then the cause is in "that document". The document has a macro or other customisation in it. Open Organiser to see which one. You can also delete it from Organiser. Look Organiser up in the Help. If you cannot SEE the problem in Organiser, then you'll have to Maggie the document. 1) Create a new blank document 2) Copy everything EXCEPT the last paragraph mark from the old document (if you copy the last paragraph mark, you will copy the problem) 3) Paste into the new document and save under a new file name.

Disable macros in Word if no idea of host application
Hi John,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the note about enabling macros appear now EVERYTIME I open Word. What can I do about that? Ursula "Ursula" wrote: I use Word 2003.

You will get a macro warning if there are macros saved in your document
unless you set the macro security to low (don't do that!!!!) You will also get a macro warning if there are macros in a template or an add-in and you have not set macro security to trust *installed* templates and add-ins. Even if you set this option, if you open a template containing macros from another location than the templates or startup folder you will get the warning. The warning is a protection from unwanted and potentially malicious code. My guess is that you have installed software with an add-in to Word and it is the add-in that is causing the warning. Check macro security, and set it to Medium and to trust installed templates and add-ins. If you still get the warning, the macro is probably in the document and you should investigate what it is before allowing it to run - especially if the document was produced by a third party. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org .

Thank you, Graham, for your reply. I think you are probably right because on
reflection this happened when I installed Myob and there is a link to Word. Would it now help if I delete all pre-written letters (such as reminders etc.) from the programme?

No! Uninstall the link to MYOB or set macro security as indicated.

Disable macros in Word if no idea of host application
It might require only moving the MYOB add-in file from one folder to
another. As explained in the article http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...latesStore.htm, there are two "Word startup folders" on the hard drive -- one under your login profile in the Documents and Settings folder, and another under the Program Files folder where Office is installed. Only the one in the profile is considered a "trusted location". If the MYOB file is in the folder under Program Files, move it to your profile. [In Windows Explorer, you have to go to Tools Folder Options View and turn on display of hidden folders to see the Application Data folder under the profile.] -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
