Changing Trust Center settings for macros

Word 2007 uses a feature called the Trust Center to manage macro security settings. To change your macro security settings, follow these steps:

1. Click the Office Button in the upper left corner of the screen.

2. From the Office Button menu, select Program Options, where Program is the name of the program you are using, e.g., Word.

3. Click Trust Center, and then click the Trust Center Settings button. A new page will open.

4. Click Macro Settings on the left.  TSS recommends using “Disable all macros except digitally sign macros,” but the following security levels are available:

* Disable all macros without notification will allow only macros installed in trusted locations to run. Any other macros, signed or unsigned, will be disabled.

* Disable all macros with notification will prompt you to choose whether or not a macro can run.

* Disable all macros except digitally signed macros allows macros signed by trusted publishers to run automatically, prompts you for signed macros from other publishers, and prevents unsigned macros from running.

* Enable all macros allows all macros to run. This setting is not recommended, because it allows potentially dangerous code to run without warning.
