Word 2007 Cut and Paste

When I attempt to paste, I get a message that macros need to be enabled.
I've enabled macros in the trust center. What's up?

One possibility is that you have an add-in that uses a macro to intercept
the paste command. You can try running in Safe Mode (hold down Ctrl while
starting Word), which suppresses all add-ins, to see if that helps. If it
does, try disabling the add-ins (in Office button > Word Options > Add-ins)
one at a time to try to isolate the one that causes the problem.

Another possibility is that something has gone pear-shaped in your
installation. Go to Office button > Word Options > Resources and click the
Diagnose button to see if it repairs anything.

I found a simpler solution.
I did run diagnostics and it corrected one error. I have no idea what.
I restarted MSWORD. Open the file and realized I was getting a message to
enable macros for the file. I was transferring the file from another
computer using a flash drive. I enabled macros when opening the file and all
is well.

Thanks
