Macros disabled

[Curt]

Program I wrote works fine on my computer. When we tryed it on another it
reads macros disabled. Go to on line help. On my comp it askes to enable.
What will it take to get it to do same on another? Want others to have a copy
so we can all benefit from my efforts. None of us are getting any younger.
All input appreciated.

Go to Tools > Options > Security and set the security level to Medium.

Or copy the macro into a template, and have the others store the template in
either the User Templates folder (as identified in Tools > Options > File
Locations) or the Word Startup folder. Both of these locations are "trusted".
Templates in the User Templates folder are used as the base for new documents,
or can be added as "add-ins" through Tools > Templates & Add-Ins. Templates that
are in the Startup folder load automatically when Word starts, and their macros
are available in all documents. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/WhatTemplatesStore.htm for a more
detailed explanation.

Some of us are not getting younger faster than others...

There many macros throughout the program is there a way to do this for those
that don't fully understand what is going on? I am sure many published
programs have macros that run. What am I missing
Thanks

Apparently what you're missing is any understanding of the macro security
mechanism in Word. There's way too much to explain in one post. I suggest you
start reading...

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2003/HA011403061033.aspx and the other
articles in that group, especially
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2003/HA011403071033.aspx

I read as you suggested Will set security and try again. I presume this
medium setting will bring up screen to enable macros. Thanks so Much.
