Running Macros

[MIKEN]

I am having trouble getting macros to run in word 2003, the error message is
coming up as Macros are disabled. I have gone through the suggested steps in
the online help but can't get them running.

The macros were created by VBA and I can open them up ok, just can't get
them to run.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

This has to do with your security level. One approach is to reduce your
security level. I do not recommend that approach. The recommended approach
is to create a certificate that you can use to sign your macros, then add
your certificate as a trusted source.

The Digital Certificate feature might not be installed by default. In Office
2003 setup (Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Office 2003, Change,
Advanced, etc.), it's listed as Digital Certificate under Office Shared
Features).

In Word's help, type "certificate", then click on Create your own digital
certificate.

Once created, open the VBA editor in Word, choose Tools - Digital Signature,
etc.
