I just upgraded fro Office 97 to 2003. When I run Word, I get a warning that
macros are disabled. Because of this, I cannot insert equations.

I found a page in Help titled "Macro language support is disabled". It says
to run the Setup program again and check Office Shared Features, Visual Basic
for Applications. It was already checked, but I unchecked it and checked it
again. I also tried lowering the security level. Nothing is working. I do
not appear to be having the same proble with Excel.

When you get a warning that macros are disabled, you also get a message
telling you to check Word's Help file for information on this.
Unfortunately, this instruction is couched in language that most users don't
understand (something like "refer to the application's online
documentation"), and if you type "enable macros" into the Answer Wizard, the
Help topic you mention is the first one listed. The topic you really need
(sort of) is the second one listed: "Change the security level for macro
virus protection." Unfortunately, it tells you just the opposite of what you
want to do! A better choice is the omnibus topic "Troubleshoot macro
security and warnings."

If you work your way down through this, you'll ultimately get to this bottom
line:

1. On the Security Level tab of Tools | Macro | Security, change the
security level from High to Medium. This will assure that you get a message
allowing you to enable macros if you choose (you can still opt not to).

2. On the Trusted Sources tab, check the box for "Trust all installed
add-ins and templates." This will automatically enable macros in all
templates in your User Templates and Workgroup Templates folders (that is,
ones that you have created), as well as all templates and add-ins in Word's
Startup folder. Unfortunately, this trust does not extend to the Office
Startup folder, but any add-ins that are located there will usually be ones
from mainstream add-ins that you can choose to trust: that is, they will be
signed macros, and you will be given the option to "Trust all macros from
XYZ Corporation." Doing so will add that publisher to your Trusted Sources.

No, that's not working for me. I had tried that before I wrote, and I tried
it again just now. I am still getting the same warning about macros being
disabled. Now I find that I am unable to paste anything into a document.
Thank you for the suggestion, but I am still without a solution.

Yes, I think you would have to restart Word to enable this change in

I can't lose this problem, I have reinstalled office several times, and still
could not fix it. no matter how many times I follow the directions given by
MS. I read an article in PC magazine and their answer was "why bother, it
will never be fixed" and the article title was "Kill MS Word"

I have an add-in in my startup folder which puts some buttons on Word that
connects to my bible study program (E-sword). I saw that you said in this
post that, "Unfortunately, this trust does not extend to the Office
Startup folder."
I want to remove my add-in safely from the startup folder because I don't
like dealing with the window to enable macros every time I start Word, and I
don't use by bible study feature very much. Do I just delete it from the
startup folder or is there something else I must do? Thanks, Duane B

You can move the Add-In to Word's own startup folder if you want. Otherwise,
I would recommend uninstalling E-sword, and then, if necessary, deleting the
..dot file from the Office Startup folder.

I would suggest moving the add-in to a different folder. It could be Word's

infrequently, put it somewhere else that you can find it easily. When you
want to use it, use Tools | Templates and Add-ins to load it for just one
session.

In fact if you add it to the templates and add-ins list it will always be

Paul, I had the same problem. The message from Suzanne S. Barnhill helped me
get this figured out. After following Suzanne's instructions I received a
message when opening Word about "enabling macros". At the top of the message
was the name (& location ... i.e. path) of a macro that was in my "Startup"

path (using Windows Explorer) & deleted the the macros in my "Startup"

You would do better to create a new question rather than append yours to an
ancient thread.
If macros are disabled, you have the macro security (tools options
security) set to High. Set it to medium to get the opportunity to run macros
in documents. Be very sure what that macro does before running it, as macros
from third party sources can contain malicious code.

I just upgraded fro Office 97 to 2003. When I run Word, I get a
warning that macros are disabled. Because of this, I cannot insert
equations.

I found a page in Help titled "Macro language support is disabled".
It says to run the Setup program again and check Office Shared
Features, Visual Basic for Applications. It was already checked,
but I unchecked it and checked it again. I also tried lowering the
security level. Nothing is working. I do not appear to be having
the same proble with Excel.
