Default Enable Macros Dialog Box

Hello,

Is there a way to not have the dialog box that asks you if you want to
enable or disable macros in a word document not show when opening a document
with macros. I have a form I want to send to a group and I don't want that
dialog box showing when they open the document.

Thanks very much for you help.

Dee

Default Enable Macros Dialog Box

If I'm not mistaken, the decision to enable or disable macros in a received
document is determined by the recipient , not the sender.

Default Enable Macros Dialog Box

More or less. In Word 2003 and earlier, the Security Options determine
whether macros are automatically enabled, automatically disabled, or
enabled/disabled on a case-by-case basis by notifying the user and letting
him/her choose. In Word 2007, there is an option to trust macros in all
documents/templates in trusted locations (as is also the case in Word 2003),
and there is also an option to trust digitally signed macros. So if a
developer digitally signs a macro project, then presumably it would be
enabled on systems where users had chosen that option.

Suzanne, I agree with you 100%. I may have missed the intent of her question.
I thought possibly she wanted to enable the macro as the sender, not wanting
the recipient to know there was a macro installed, thus my basic answer.
