Unable to perform save as in Word 2003
I have a VP user when she tries to save any word document even a new one she
recieves a Macro error "The Macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings." This prevents her from saving anything. Some things tried: Office Repair, Rebuild normal.dot, change macro level to low Will be uninstall and reinstall offcie 2003 suite. I was looking as the support Macro as an option but never used it before. Anyone have any helpful suggestions Truly appreciated, MGD |

Hi TechKnot
This message appears if Word is trying to run a VBA macro, and it can't find it, or has been told not to run it. It sounds like the menu item or toolbar button that the user invokes to save the file has been attached to a macro, but Word can't find the macro. If you have already deleted (or, better, re-named) normal.dot, and let Word create a new one, then we know the menu or button assignment wasn't in normal.dot. So it must be in an add-in. Try Tools Templates and Add-ins. If there are any add-ins listed, delete them one by one until you find the culprit. For more information about locating add-ins and identifying add-ins that load when Word starts, see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...514521033.aspx. Through that process, you should be able to establish what add-in is assigning a macro to the menu item or toolbar button. If you now decide you want to run it, then at Tools Options Security Macro Security, set the macro security settings to Medium. Close and re-start Word. If prompted, agree to Enable Macros and see if it now works. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "TechKnot" wrote in message ...
