Re: the function you are attempting to run contains macros or cont

Here's the best way. Open the Control Panel, double-click Programs & Features, find and select Office 2007. Click on the Change button (at the top of the screen) and Office Setup will launch itself. Chose Add or Remove Features. From the list, expand Office Shared Features, click on the little arrow attached to Visual Basic for Applications and select the Run from My Computer Option. Click Continue. Setup will then install the VBA code that you need.

Not that this is NOT done in Word. Word and all Office apps should be closed.
Also note that there is no Tools Menu in Office 2007. All those settings as well as the file menu settings are now under the Office Button (the Pizza slice) which can still be opened using Alt+F.

Dear Terry, what you write sounds definitive. Unfortunately, for as much as
I have uised word, I understand it but poorly. I would appreciate very much
a little "walk through" help. First of all I am running word 2007 on Vista.
I can't find the tools category that used to be on the old version of word.
When you say enter set up, I'm not sure how to do that. Thanks so much,

This error (which was answered just a few days ago) suggests that VBA hasn't
been installed. It was not necessarily part of the standard install for
Office XP. Run setup and choose Modify (or Change), find the items that you
know you will need marking them Install on this computer.
