how do I become a trusted publisher?
How do I become a trusted publisher so I can distribute Word and Excel files
to people in my company without them being presented with the dreaded 'document contains macros' warning each time they open one of my files/templates? I've created all kinds of extremely helpful functionality in our team templates and knowledge base resources, but it's all thwarted by this warning - because people automatically decline to enable the macros. |

I don't see how the explanation gets past the problem of everyone getting
prompted with a 'this document contains macros' warning. Maybe I should be asking how one acquires a security certificate...or whatever it's called...to get around this problem.

You get the warning when the actual document being opened contains
macros. When the macros are in a template that is loaded as an add- in, the warning does not appear.

As Ed implies, documents should not contain macros. Macros should be in
templates or add-ins. Installed templates and add-ins will not show the security prompt if the users have their macro security set to trust installed templates and add-ins, which is the simplest way to deal, with this issue. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bob W wrote: I don't see how the explanation gets past the problem of everyone getting prompted with a 'this document contains macros' warning.
