I'm an MSDN subscriber, and I can't find where or how to report this bug.
I've spoken with VeriSign, and they tell me it's a problem with IE6, not MS
Office, and to contact Microsoft. Here's the problem:
Our company name is "Standard & Poor's" -- we have a VeriSign Office/VBA
code-signing certificate to sign Excel spreadsheets with macros. When a
client sets Excel (2000 or 2003) to High macro security level, and then opens
a spreadsheet we published, the dialog box with the Disable/Enable macros
buttons displays only "Standard &" -- that's it.
This happens with a Word or Publisher document too. If I add a macro, sign
the file, and send it off to someone, they see only half our company name,
which is completely unacceptable. To see this in action, open any Office
2000 or 2003 application, use Tools / Macro / Security to set the level to
high, and then click one of these links.
Word: http://home.comcast.net/~jasmith4/S&P-VeriSign/S&P-Word.doc
Excel: http://home.comcast.net/~jasmith4/S&P-VeriSign/S&P-Excel.xls
Publisher: http://home.comcast.net/~jasmith4/S&P-VeriSign/S&P-Publisher.pub
When the macro warning comes up, don't check the "Always Trust" checkbox --
leave it off -- or you won't see the problem again. If you click Enable
Macros, you'll just get one message box saying "You are now running macros."
