I always get a macro security settings error message everytime I open and
close a document file using Microsoft Office Word 2007.

I get this message:

"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." followed by sets of instructions but all of them did not
work.

Then, when I close a file, another message pops up after the macro security
settings error message saying that:

"This message can appear if you made changes to items, such as macros,
toolbars, or AutoText, that are stored in a global template that is attached
to your document. The most commonly used global template is Normal.dotm,
which comes with Word.
If you save the changes, they will be available to all documents to which
this global template is attached. If you don't save the changes, the changes
are discarded from the template.
If you see this message often, you may want to turn off the Prompt before
saving Normal template option. To turn off this option, click the Microsoft
Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Advanced. Under Save, clear
the Prompt before saving Normal template check box. If this check box is
already clear, or if clearing it does not resolve this issue, then there may
be a problem with Word.
For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 918064."

I hope I can receive help from this site. Thank you.

My problem started since I install a Bluetooth dongle in my PC to communicate/send audio output to a BT speaker. I open Add ins and BT was there as such. I deleted the instance and my problem was solve. Now Microsoft word open just fine as it was before.
