Re: Security Alert Popup Office 2007

Thanks Steve,

But it happens without clicking anything. The message bar contains the warning as I said, but I can turn that message off from the "trust centre" but it still invokes the security alert when you go to show presentation.

I don't see why I should hack the registry (even with Microsoft) consent and even if it will cure the pop up, when there should be a way of disabling it. All previous versions you can get rid of messages so why not now. I bet it's the road to DRM their trying to enforce.

The trouble is (as I'm sure you're aware) when running a show all day long and processing speakers every 15 mins you don't want this alert appearing on the screen just because the "creator" of the presentation doesn't know what they're doing.

Oh and by the way, it is absolute taboo to have the desktop appear on the projected image. So it annoys me that Microsoft think it's clever to warn you at the start of a presentation with a huge security alert that you have to cancel to get the presentation to run, and not supply an option to turn it off. Not very professional is it.

Please prove me wrong we have another show next week and I just know they are going to the same problem...

Ok I've run out of ideas, so please help me.

When you receive a presentation and load it the message bar informs you
that "Security Warning References to external pictures have been
blocked" and when you try to show the presentation you get the Security
Alert "This document references pictues in untrusted locations."

If you cancel the show starts and still runs fine.

I know you can disable the message bar warning but how to you stop the
security alert when you try to start the show?

I do not have the luxury of checking the presentations before they have
to be shown and it ruins the show having this alert pop up on the odd
presentation. The reason they can't be checked is that we pre make a
deck with object linked filenames for a whole show and while the show is
running the "dummy" files are over written with the real ones live via
the network. It is SO unprofessional when that pop up appears.

There has to be a way to disable the warning.
