I get a warning message about macros and whether I
should enable them or not.

Can you give me a hint how to answer that? I'm sure you would not have
included anything dangerous, so why that warning message?


Hello Jack,

A less poetic response than m'learned colleague E. Roper (who lives in the
wind-and-rain-lashed hills that so inspired Wordsworth et al -- it rubs off,
even after all these years), but just to mention what in "Bend Word to Your
Will" triggers the warning if you have the setting enabled:

If a document has ever had a macro, or -- I¹ve been told -- has ever been
attached to a template other than the Normal template (which this one has),
it will trigger this warning if you have set your preferences to be
notified. (This is discussed on page 36 of "Bend Word to Your Will", by the
way -- but it's not much use there if you need to resolve the question
before you open it, which prompts me to add an explanation to that effect on
the web page; thanks for triggering that!)

The warning can be useful, since a macro may or may not contain a macro
virus. All it checks for is to see if the container that might hold
customizations exists in the document; if so, the alert appears. The
trigger could simply be a customised keystroke, or there may be no
customizations at all.

So don't worry about it; the document was virus-checked before it was
uploaded.

But a warning about the *content* of "Bend Word to Your Will" -- it's more
of a dictionary than a novel, designed to be used electronically and most
subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. Be sure to read the
front end of the document, though -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can
select some Word settings that will allow you to use the document
effectively.
