I have not been able to print my Word document since
installation.
the following error message occurs
" The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer to
the online help or document oo the host application to
determine how to enable macros."

how can I resolve this?

You have a macro intercepting the Print command.

By default, Word macro security (Tools/Macro/Security) is set to
"High" to prevent macros from running due to the threat of macro
viruses.

You should first determine what macro is attempting to run.

- Go to Tools/Macro/Macros and make sure "Macros in" reflects "All
active templates and documents".
- See if there are any macros named along the lines of "FilePrint"
- Select the macro and see if the Edit or Delete command is available
- If it is then either Delete the macro or click "Edit" and place an
"X" in front of the macro name to prevent it from automatically
running until you can determine what the macro is actually doing

If delete is unavailable then chances are it is stored in a global
template. A global template is a template located in your Startup
folder that is automatically loaded when Word starts. You can find a
list of these under Tools/Templates and Add-Ins.

To determine which template, in the Macros dialog box, narrow down the
list of macros using "Macros in" at the bottom until you have
determined what template the macro is stored in.

Once you locate the template then either open the template and
delete/rename the macro or move the template out of the folder so it
will no longer be used.

Global templates are typically stored in your Word\Startup folder or
Office\Startup. Your Word\Startup folder can be determined by going to
Tools/Options/File Locations to verify this location. The
Office\Startup folder will be located in the installation path for
Office.

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