When I open MS Word 2007 I get a warning window (shown below) by just
opening the application. I also receive the warning if I double click a doc
or docx file. This problem started with Power Point when I tried to view a
PPS. file which I believe was corrupt. Power Point is no longer a problem,
just MS Word 2007.
This is what is popping up, I've tried all the instructions but it keeps
appearing with every opening of the program. How do I shut it off? Thanks.

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.

a.. 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.
a.. If macro security is set to Disable all macros without notification,
all macros are automatically disabled. Use the following procedure to enable
the macro.
1.. In the Trust Center dialog box, click Macro Settings, and then
click Disable all macros with notification.
2.. Click OK in the Trust Center dialog box to apply the new setting.
Click OK to close the program options dialog box.
3.. Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are
using.
4.. 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.
5.. When you have enabled the macro, it is recommended that you return
the macro security setting to Disable all macros without notification.
b.. 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.
1.. In the Trust Center dialog box, click Cancel. Click Cancel to
close the program options dialog box.
2.. Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are
using.
3.. 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.
c.. 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.
1.. In the Trust Center dialog box, click Cancel. Click Cancel to
close the program options dialog box.
2.. Close the file and the Microsoft Office program that you are
using.
3.. 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.

You may have an add-in that is causing a problem. Click the
Office Button, click Word Options, and then Add-Ins. Disable or remove them
using the manage button on the bottom.
It was the Google Add-in for me.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have put up with this error for months (which
required me to click "OK" 6-8 times every time I opened Word or any Word
document!) - I couldn't find a solution, despite several attempts at hunting
round on the web. Then I stumbled upon this. It was the Salesforce add-in
for me.

By coincidence, we have just cancelled our Salesforce contract as we are
moving to a different CRM, so there is no impact from me removing the add-in,
however I wonder what would I have done if I'd wanted to continue using
Salesforce and the add-in... Maybe salesforce have the answer.

Ok, I spoke too soon. Darn it. I've just started up my machine again and
the error is back. Any other ideas?

It would help if you told us more about the error. Exactly what does the
error message say? Does it always say the same thing.

Hope this helps.

Thank you sooo much! This seems to have done the trick.
I was not able to manage the COMM AddIns from Word, it said I needed to be
the Administrator---but I am! So I had to go and delete it from the
computer. It turned out to be the: SnagItOfficeAddin.dll file. Or the SnagIt
Add-in

THANK YOU!
