Hi Kathie,

Did you go through all the links I provided?
The links provide very specific detail about how to avoid the security prompts.

I do not quite understand this statement you said:
"I do understand the setting to low security under Tools,
but this is not available after my installation and reinstallation."

What *exactly* do you mean by that?

If you mean you do not have that option on the Tools menu try
reading this link which I provided last time:
If the security item isn't on that menu, you may need to reset your menubar. See:
