disable prompt macros

I am creating a reference document on Word 2004 with internal hyperlinks to pdf documents within a folder in my hard disk (not to web documents). Every time i click on the hyperlink, the "some files contain viruses" .. etc>" prompt pops up, requiring confirmation that I want to open the link. By now there must be a way of disabling this, since otherwise my reference document becomes too cumbersome. There are no concerns about viruses or security, since all of the links within the document are to pdf docs within my own disk.

No. There is no way to disable that warning (if there were, the virus
writers would be able to find a way around it).

You need to re-think the method. You could try either saving the document
in HTML and link to HTML files, or create the document in PDF and link to
PDF files.

Or you could create the document as a master document. Provided that you do
not try to EDIT any of the subdocuments, a Master Document may work for you.

Master Documents break if you edit them much. But for "read-only" access to
multiple linked documents, they will work very nicely.

The components must, of course, be .doc files. Any "foreign" file type will
trigger the warning.

Hope this helps
