How do I enable macros in Office XP?
I upgraded from Office 97 to XP recently. 97 was working fine, but I wanted
to easily "mail-merge" which XP does better. Now, I can't save or even print a Word document without the message coming up: "Macros are disabled, etc." How do I enable macros in Word so that I can use the program again? What a pain! |

"Tools", "Options", "Security" TAB, click "Macro Security" button, change
setting to "Medium". Fix it once and you're good to go from here on out! -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor - XP www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "Richard" wrote in message ...

It seems like you may have your security up too high. To correct this
problem try going to "tools" and then click on "macro" and then "security". Once the Macros Security box pops up, change the security from high to medium. Like it says, do not put it on low because it is not recommened. This should solve your problem. |
