Reset Word macro security settings.

| The problem on my work computer is that my Word Macro Security settings
are
| set to Very High and I can't change this. I want to set it to LOW. I am
the
| administrator of my PC.
|
| I can change the setting to LOW, but when I restart Word, the setting is
| back to Very High.

Possibly there is a logon script that is changing the settings. If not, it
could be that settings are not being saved; if so, you need to rebuild a
Registry key. See

Thanks Suzanne,

But the security problem is still there. Where is this setting stored?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

It should be stored with your other options, in the Registry Data key.

 

[Beth Melton]

It's stored in the Registry under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
