I had the same problem as Suzanne about receiving an expired certificate in
Word (macros). I read your answer and used your solution. Thank you. But
what is Caere?

The probable cause is an add-in installed by an old Caere product,
probably an OCR program. Look in Word's Tools Options File
Locations dialog to find the location of Word's Startup folder, then
close Word. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the Startup folder and
look for a template (.dot file) that looks like it came from Caere. If
you can narrow it down to one, then move it to another folder (or
delete it, since it isn't doing you any good). If you can't tell which
one it is, start moving files out of Startup one at a time and
restarting Word each time, to see which one causes the message.

This general problem of startup messages is covered in section 4 of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm.

Anyone know how to get past this problem? Every time I bring up Word I have
to click to enable or disable macros. I've read thru all the macro help to no
avail, so please don't send me there. I also checked out the Caere website.
NADA. The message that pops up is

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Office\Office1
contains macros by Caere Corporation
A certificate (signing or issuer) has expired.
then I am forced to manually enable or disable macros. Anyone ever dealt
with this?
