Visual Basic Macro message- how to get ridd of it.
Opening Word - the following window pops up "The macros in this project are
disabled. Please refer to the online Help documentation of the host application to determine how to enable macros." How to make this message go away and stop appearing? Ages ago I did load some Visual Basic menu items to see what they did. I can't program in VB. Have no idea. Just a silly experiment that has gone wrong to annoy me evertime I run Word. Please help how to turn this thing off or get rid of it permanently. Regards Tony |

Visual Basic Macro message- how to get ridd of it.
Hi Jay - I used the Word's wizard. Still not fixed. Under "Trouble shoot
macro warnings" Macro Warnings/Built in wizards templates or custom commands no longer work or I get a message that macros are disabled." You run the Office Set up, then "Features to install" screen, "Office Shared Features" then click into the "Visual Basic for Applications" - choose "Run from My Computer". Did the above - no change. Only have problems when opening Word, other Office 2002 applications working OK. Any further ideas or could you narrow the options you kindly offered to me? I do appreciate your reply...

Visual Basic Macro message- how to get ridd of it.
The advice in the Word Help topics, while technically correct, treat only
the _least_ likely causes of the problem, not the _most_ likely ones. It's quite unusual (at least, outside of corporate setups) to have an Office installation that doesn't include VBA, so I'm not surprised that rerunning the installation didn't fix anything. That's why I pointed you to the FAQ article on the MVP site, which does discuss the procedure that's most likely to work. Specifically, look at the section of the article titled "If you get an error message as soon as Word opens, but it doesn't crash (e.g. "Compile Error in Hidden Module") ..." It discusses removing any templates from the Startup folder [the footnote of the article tells you where to find that folder]. Another thing to check on: Go to Tools Macro Security and set the security level to Medium. Now, if a macro tries to run when you start Word, you should get a popup with Disable and Enable buttons. If you're lucky, it will even tell you the name of the file that contains the macro. Find that file and nuke it. [Note: It isn't recommended to set the security level to Low. That will stop the messages by allowing all macros to run, but if the macro is a virus, then you're in big trouble and you won't even know it.] -- 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.

Visual Basic Macro message- how to get ridd of it.
Thanks so much Jay. Your post gave me the solution (after I wrote the post
reply seeking more info - embarressed). "How to find if any Word Add-ins have been installed" provided the clues looking for any Global Templates in Word. Go to Tools =="Templates and Add-ins" in Word and found a DOT file from an accounting package. Then to delete went to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup or equivelent and using the file search part in XP, located the offending DOT file and deleted it. I had trouble locating contents of the Start Up Folder. Could see the Start Up folder but nothing in it - that threw me off the track for a bit. But used the C:\Progagram....path as above and got there in the end. The annoying message warning has gone - you helped me get there!!! Thanks so much.

Visual Basic Macro message- how to get ridd of it.
I have a similar problem. I open many Word documents from colleagues that
have macros, but I would like to permanently disable all macros and avoid the warning message. Do you know of a way to do this? Naturally I tried going into tools and changing macro security, but this only works in the doc I have open.

settings aren't being saved. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm for instructions on rebuilding the Word Data key if that's the issue.

Visual Basic Macro message- how to get ridd of it.
The fact that you don't have access to the Registry suggests that your
system is indeed "locked down" by IT. You might want to point out to the network admin that running at Low macro security is risky. -- Suzanne S.
