Re: Word 2003 Macro frustration

Hello KeithM,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you wonder how to
handle
the Word 2003 message "The macros in this project have been disabled" when
you open a Word 2003 template file with macros in it, which originally
worked well without the macro disabled message. If I'm off base, please
feel free to let me know.

This is correct.



According to the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316731/en-us
There can be five reasons for the Word 2003 message, and several
resolutions for each cause. Based on my experience, the cause 5 (A
template
that contains macros is in an untrusted location, such as the Office
startup folder) is more likely to explain the problem in this case, and we
can try its corresponding resolution (Method 6) prior to others.

Please first verify whether the macro security setting is indeed set to
high (Tool->Macro->Security), and please set it to Medium if you do not
want to add digital signatures to your macros. If this does not help, we
need to check other causes listed in the KB article, and try their
resolutions.
I have tried the macro security setting on both 'medium' and 'low' and
neither had any effect.*

*Further Note: I have since re tried this. This time I set the setting to
Medium, and closed the "document 1" that Word had brought up when I double
clicked the template. This time however I also closed the Word window that
had mytemplate.dot in it.
when I now double click the template, Word was slower launching and then
brought up a dialog asking me if I wanted to trust macros from this source.
I have obviously said yes.

This allows me to continue developing but does not explain why the problem
initially appeared after I had been working all day without this problem. I
also fear that when I hand out the template to our other office developers,
there will be further problems.

Thanks
