Office 2007 Security Warning

Security warning in Office 2007

Microsoft has tightened security in Office 2007 and due to that you might receive this message.

1) Before accepting any security warning, click on "SHOW SIGNATURE DETAILS" (indicated in orange) and critically read through the details to determine if you want to accept the potential security concern.

A few options exist to deal with this security error:

A) "Trust all documents from this publisher" - By clicking this button you allow and trust every add-in from a vendor, Microsoft in this case.

B) "Enable application add-in" - Press this button to accept the security warning ONE-TIME. By choosing this option, you will be prompted when the program opens again.

C) "Disable application add-in" - Pressing this button will disable the add-in and prevent those features from working.

Please note, if macro security is setup to "No warnings and disable all Macros" this security warning will NOT be displayed.
