I had disabled macros to try to fix a bug where pasting in selected
html from web pages (just about any) was crashing Word, or worse, the
computer. (The system is normally very stable.) Disabling macros had
no effect on the problem. I went to try to re-enable macros, and I
can't find where to do that. Tools - Macros - Security - Low
doesn't work. Trusted Resources in the same as ever. I know I did
something other than setting macro security to high to stop the macros
from running, but I can't remember what I did now. If I select a macro
(key shortcut) I was previously using I get an error screen "Macros in
this project are disabled. Please refer to [help] to renable macros."
'Help' and online help tell you to change the security and how to add
trusted resources.

Any help appreciated.

(Also, any ideas on how to keep Word from crashing when (50%+) I try
to paste in html?)

Okay, well Word is now magically (inexplicably) asking me if I want to
enable macros when I start Word. I said 'Enable.' Now how do get it
to STOP asking me that again every (!@#) time I restart Word?

Thanks

Hi lisa_n,

One possibility for the message appearing each time you start Word ...

You might have a template containing macros in your OFFICE startup folder.
If you have and your security setting is medium I believe you would get that
behaviour.

The OFFICE startup folder is (by default) not the same as the one pointed to
in Word's Tools/Options/File locations/Startup; it's the one in the Office
installation path. On my PC it's "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2003
Professional\OFFICE11\STARTUP".

Also, when you get the message you may be able to see the path to the
template it's complaining about displayed near the top of the enable/disable
dialog (at least I seem to get this with Word 2003).

Regards.

Ed
