Word 2007 Macro problem

[ekwang]

Hi,

I keep getting the following error message when opening Word files:

the function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that
requires macro language support. when this software was installed, you (or
your administrator) chose not to install support for m

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Assuming you're running Vista, click Start - Control Panel - Classic View -
Programs and Features - Microsoft Office 2007 - Change - Add or Remove
Features - Continue - expand Office Shared Features, and set Visual Basic
for Applications to Run from My Computer. Click Continue and follow the
prompts.

Either that, or obtain Word files that do not contain macros.

Hello Tyson,

I'm running XP Pro SP 2. I'll have to double check the Office Shared
Features item through the Add/Remove Program Feature.

Right... Once you're in Add or Remove Programs, click on Microsoft Office
2007, and the rest of the steps are the same.

Herb Tyson:
I have the same problem as ekwang. Microsoft Office is NOT listed in
"Add/remove programs" on the classic view of control panel. I have 2007
Office Basic installed BY HP, when I bought it from them. Is that why it's
not listed and if so would you have a suggestion for me.
Thanks,
Mike Flannigan

I'm not familiar with the OEM Office offering from HP, but, if you click on
it, then follow the steps I outlined... are those options available? In
theory, it shouldn't matter which version of Office you're using. Once you
drill into, the innards should be the same.
