Word 2007 Issue

T

Techgurl

Every time I open Word 2007 I get this error message

I tried going into the security setting and disabling macro security and all
that but I can't get rid of this annoying messages. Its not even opening a
document so how can it be containing macros.

Does anyone have a clue to how to fix this? I already installed SP 1 for
Office

Thanks

Jeanette


This error usually occurs because of macro security settings. If you know
that the macro comes from a source that you trust, you can change your macro
security settings to allow you to enable the macro. The way that you change
your macro security settings depends on the Microsoft Office System program
that you are using.
Microsoft Office Access, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office
PowerPoint, or Microsoft Office Word --

To check your macro security settings, click the Microsoft Office Button,
click <program name> Options, click Trust Center, and then click Trust
Center Settings.
If macro security is set to Disable all macros without notification, all
macros are automatically disabled. Use the following procedure to enable the
macro.
In the Trust Center dialog box, click Macro Settings, and then click Disable
all macros with notification.
Click OK in the Trust Center dialog box to apply the new setting. Click OK
to close the program options dialog box.
Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are using.
Open the file again. A Security Alert appears in the Document Information
Bar just below the ribbon. Click Enable Content to allow the macro to run.
When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return the macro
security setting to Disable all macros without notification.
If macro security is set to Disable all macros with notification, but you
selected Disable when prompted by the macro warning dialog when you opened
the file, use the following procedure to enable the macro.
In the Trust Center dialog box, click Cancel. Click Cancel to close the
program options dialog box.
Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are using.
Open the file again. A Security Alert appears in the Document Information
Bar just below the ribbon. Click Enable Content to allow the macro to run.
If macro security is set to Disable all macros except digitally signed
macros, the macro may not have been digitally signed. Verify that you can
trust the macro before using the following procedure to allow it to run.
In the Trust Center dialog box, click Cancel. Click Cancel to close the
program options dialog box.
Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are using.
Open the file again. A Security Alert appears in the Document Information
Bar just below the ribbon. Click Enable Content to allow the macro to run.

Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office Visio, or Microsoft Office
Publisher --

To check your macro security settings, on the Tools menu, click Trust
Center, and then click Macro Security.
If macro security is set to No warnings and disable all macros, all macros
are automatically disabled. Use the following procedure to enable the macro.
In the Trust Center dialog box, click Warnings for signed macros; all
unsigned macros are disabled, and then click OK.
Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are using.
Open the file again. When prompted, click Enable Content to allow the macro
to run. If you are using Visio, the Enable Content button appears as part of
a Security Alert in the Document Information Bar. If you are not prompted to
enable the macro, or if you receive this error again, the macro may not be
digitally signed. Verify that you can trust the macro. If you are certain
that you can trust the macro, use the next procedure below to enable the
macro.
When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return the macro
security setting to No warnings and disable all macros.
If macro security is set to Warnings for signed macros; all unsigned macros
are disabled, the macro may not be digitally signed. If you are certain that
you can trust the macro, use the following procedure to enable the macro.
In the Trust Center dialog box, click Warnings for all macros, and then
click OK.
Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are using.
Open the file again. When prompted, click Enable Content to allow the macro
to run. If you are using Visio, the Enable Content button appears as part of
a Security Alert in the Document Information Bar.
When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return the macro
security setting to Warnings for signed macros; all unsigned macros are
disabled.

Microsoft Office Project --

To check your macro security settings, on the Tools menu, click Macro, and
then click Security.
If macro security is set to Very High, use the following procedure to enable
the macro.
In the Security dialog box, click High, and then click OK.
Close the file and Microsoft Office Project.
Open the file again. When prompted, click Enable Content to allow the macro
to run. If you are not prompted to enable the macro, or if you receive this
error message again, the macro may not be digitally signed. Verify that you
can trust the macro. If you are certain that you can trust the macro, use
the next procedure below to enable the macro.
When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return the macro
security setting to Very High.
If the macro security setting is set to High, the macro may not be digitally
signed. If you are certain that you can trust the macro, use the following
procedure to enable the macro.
In the Security dialog box, click Medium, and then click OK.
Close the file and Microsoft Office Project.
Open the file again. When prompted, click Enable Content to allow the macro
to run.
When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return the macro
security setting to High.

This error may also occur for the following reasons:
The certificate of trust that is attached to the macro is invalid. Unless
you are certain that the macro is safe, it is recommended that you not trust
or run the macro.
The certificate is no longer trusted, was revoked by the issuing authority,
or is damaged. Unless you are certain that the macro is safe, it is
recommended that you not trust or run the macro.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on your computer. In
this case, no VBA macro can be run, regardless of whether the macro has a
valid certificate of trust. You or your administrator may have chosen not to
install VBA, or the version of Microsoft Office that you are using may not
install VBA by default. If your version of Microsoft Office does not provide
VBA as an installable feature, you can upgrade to a version that provides
VBA support.
If you are unable to change the security settings, it is possible that
another program has locked the security settings. Close all Microsoft Office
System programs, then restart your program and change the security settings.

Let me explain better. When I first installed Office 2007 it worked
fine. After one of the updates it started opening a box with scroll bars.

Its starts as this

This error usually occurs because of macro security settings. If you
know that the macro comes from a source that you trust, you can change
your macro security settings to allow you to enable the macro. The way
that you change your macro security settings depends on the Microsoft
Office System program that you are using.
Microsoft Office Access, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office
PowerPoint, or Microsoft Office Word --

The help comes up with the error which I also posted. What I tried was
the setting they recommended and then I tried every setting in the macro
settings to eliminate this. The thing is it pops up every time even if
there is no document loaded so there is no macros.

I also tried reinstalling. I googled and tried to find a solution but
there was several people with the same problem but no one had a solution.

So I am asking here if anyone knows what to do. Or if it was a security
update which one was it so I can try to uninstall that update.

Sorry, I missed that part. I've grown accustomed to reading up to a
signature and not after. :)

It sounds like you have an add-in that is causing the issue. Click the
Office Button, click Word Options, and in the Add-ins section what add-ins
do you have listed? You can try disabling them to see if that resolves the
issue using the Manage options at the bottom.
