How do I enable macros again In Microsoft Word 2002?
Whenever I start Word, a window pops up titled "Microsoft Visual Basic", with
the message: "The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer to the online help or documentation to determine how to enable macros." I am lost, I try to run a trusted macro but the same message pops up again. All I want to do is to either be: allowed to choose between enabling or disabling a macro or get rid of the quite annoying pop up message I get everytime I start Word... Please help me, If anyone out there could be so kind... Thank you for bothering to read...and Thank you in advance if you are considering in responding... |

On the Security Level tab of Tools | Macro | Security, set your security
level to Medium. This will give you the option of enabling or disabling macros in any given project. On the Trusted Sources tab, check the box for "Trust all installed add-ins and templates." That will automatically enable macros in all templates in your user templates and workgroup templates folder and in Word's Startup folder. Unfortunately, the trust does not extend to the Office Startup folder, so any add-ins that load from that location will have to be okayed every time you start unless you get a chance to check, "Always trust macros from source." -- Suzanne S.

In Tools Macro Security, if the security level is set to High,
change it to Medium. Also, on the second tab of that dialog, check the box for "Trust all installed add-ins and templates". Now look in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICExx\STARTUP (where xx is 9, 10, or 11, depending on your version of Office. If there are any templates there, move them to the folder listed as the Startup location in Word's Tools Options File Locations dialog. (That's probably several levels below the Documents and Settings folder.) The one under Program Files is *not* a "trusted location", while the other one is. Now, when you open a document that contains a macro, it will show a dialog that includes Disable Macros and Enable Macros buttons. Macros in templates and add-ins should just run without prompts. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sat, 12 Mar 2005 03:01:02 -0800, "Cloudy Leo" wrote: Whenever I start Word, a window pops up titled "Microsoft Visual Basic", with the message: "The macros in this project are disabled.
