Enable Macros in Microsoft Word

Enabling Macros in your word document is very simple and could save you from running and potentially spreading a virus on your computer. However, you will want to make sure that the macro is from a trustworthy source.

Steps

1. Open a word document and click on the Microsoft Office Button in the top left hand corner.
2. Scroll down to the bottom right and click on Word Options.
3. Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click Macro Settings. Several options will appear;
4. Click Disable all macros without notification if you do not trust macros
5. Click Disable all macros with notification if want macros to be disabled, but you'd still like to receive security updates when macros are present.
6. Click Disable all macros except digitally signed macros if you have already trusted the publisher (see tip below). If you have not trusted the publisher, you will still be notified in the future.
7. Click Enable all macros (not recommended, potentially dangerous code can run)if you would like to enable all macros without warning.

Tips

• If you determine that a document and macro are from a trustworthy source and you do not want to change the default settings to a less safe macro, you can click Trust all documents from this publisher in the security dialog box which will add the publisher to your trusted publisher list.
