Help: New dialog box when opening Word or Outlook - Please help

[def]

Starting in the last week or so I get the following message when
opening Word:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The document contains macros. Macro language support is currently
disabled. Features requiring VBA are not available. Would you like
to open this document read-only?

OK Cancel Help
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not opening a file using Word, just Word by itself. I've run
Norton Anti-Virus and found nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
Robert

The message probably applies to an add-in in Word's (or more likely the
Office) Startup folder that is loading with Word. In Tools | Macro |
Security, set the security to Medium. This will permit you to get a message
allowing you to enable the macros. On the Trusted Sources tab, check the box
for "Trust all installed templates and add-ins." This will cover macros in
templates in all the template folders and in Word's Startup folder.
Unfortunately, the trust does not extend to the Office Startup folder.
