Macros disabled
Hi,
Under Win XP I run Office 2003. Starting Word 2003 I get the message "Macros in this project are disabled. Contact online help of the host application". How does one know what the host application could be? I also have Acrobat Reader 6.0.3. Is that the trouble maker? The problem does not occur under Windows 2000 Professional. Thanks for a reply.

Hi Danker
To change the macro security setting, in Word 2003, Tools Options Security. Click Macro Security and choose an appropriate level. Most people I know run with "Medium". Acrobat is notorious for being troublesome. See http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Hi Shauna,
Thank you. I will try the suggestions you offered, I checked out the "Adobe link" and I'll check that - whether it works or not. I'll "report" back after having some results!

Shauny,
"Report": I put the template in the word startup folder. That didn't work as (you told that) after less than a second the toolbar pops up again. So I deleted the adobe startup macro from the office startup folder, and then no more "macros disabled". Still have to try out the alternative macro with the delay. Basically, it's not that I want to get rid of the toolbar, I want toi get rid of the pop-up message "macros disabled". So there seems to be some incompatibility between Word and Adobe?

For Acrobat 6, you need to ensure you have the latest update from Adobe, for
that version, and that the add-in is installed in the correct folder. Acrobat's add-ins are badly written and cause all sorts of grief. The link on my web site to which you were directed provides a number of techniques for controlling the add-in when problems occur. See which suits you. http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Visio 2003 wrote: Shauny, "Report": I put the template in the word startup folder.

Graham, so the cause of the popup message "Macros in this project are
disabled" is the Adobe add-in. The popup message does not come only if I move the Adobe add-in out of the Office startup folder. Why does the add-in "create" this popup message? "Macros disabled", yet my own macros stored in normal.dot work as usual!

The message comes from Word and is triggered by the add-in, presumably
because you don't have the security configured to trust the add-in. Add-ins in the Office start-up folder are not automatically trusted. If you move the add-in to the Word start-up folder it will be trsuted if you set security to trust installed templates and add-ins - otherwise you have to set the publisher (Adobe) as a trusted publisher and you normally get an option to do this when the add-in is loaded - check Word Help on 'Trust Publisher'. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Danker Schaareman wrote: Graham, so the cause of the popup message "Macros in this project are disabled" is the Adobe add-in.
