[Ravi Sandhu]

Hi all

I am trying to create a Visual Basics button for reducing Security to low in
Microsoft Word.

How can this be done?

Thanks in advance

I don't think it can. It would be rather a large security hole for a macro
to be able to reduce macro security.

If you want code to be able to run under High security, you need to get a
digital certificate for it.

Have you tried recording such a macro?

Note that your macro (attached to a button) can only run when macro security
is set to allow it to run. It can't change that basic setting.

Recording this action will produce an empty macro. (Your security
settings will change, but only because your actions changed them.)

I'm confused by the sudden flood of messages asking how to write code to
change security settings. Think a bit, folks: If you could defeat macro
security by running a macro, there'd be no point in having security
settings.
