Macro Notification in Microsoft Office Word
Hello, I hope you are doing well.
I have been using Microsoft Office Word 2007 for some time now, but this is the first time I am running into this notification. I followed the instructions in the notification, but no matter what option I select, the notification shows up every time I open a Word document. This is getting very, very annoying (this actually annoyed me more than any other computer problem I've had in the last year - right now, I'm feeling like I'd probably choose to have a virus-infected computer than this).
This is the message:
Quote: This error usually occurs because of macro security settings. If you know that the macro comes from a source that you trust, you can change your macro security settings to allow you to enable the macro. The way that you change your macro security settings depends on the Microsoft Office System program that you are using.

In the Trust Center dialog box, click Macro Settings, and then click Disable all macros with notification.
Click OK in the Trust Center dialog box to apply the new setting. Click OK to close the program options dialog box.
Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are using.
Open the file again. A Security Alert appears in the Document Information Bar just below the ribbon. Click Enable Content to allow the macro to run.

If you are not prompted to enable the macro, or if you receive this error again, the macro may not be digitally signed. Verify that you can trust the macro. If you are certain that you can trust the macro, use the next procedure below to enable the macro.
When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return the macro security setting to No warnings and disable all macros.

Open the file again. When prompted, click Enable Content to allow the macro to run.
When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return the macro security setting to High.
This error may also occur for the following reasons:
The certificate of trust that is attached to the macro is invalid. Unless you are certain that the macro is safe, it is recommended that you not trust or run the macro.
The certificate is no longer trusted, was revoked by the issuing authority, or is damaged. Unless you are certain that the macro is safe, it is recommended that you not trust or run the macro.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on your computer. In this case, no VBA macro can be run, regardless of whether the macro has a valid certificate of trust. You or your administrator may have chosen not to install VBA, or the version of Microsoft Office that you are using may not install VBA by default. If your version of Microsoft Office does not provide VBA as an installable feature, you can upgrade to a version that provides VBA support.
If you are unable to change the security settings, it is possible that another program has locked the security settings. Close all Microsoft Office System programs, then restart your program and change the security settings.
