how to enable macro

Question

I have a Word 2007 document called Customer.docm. I created a macro for for it with Customer.docm (document) selected in the "Macros in" field. I click Macros  in the Developer tab. I selected the name of the macro and clicked Run. It displays an error message "The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer the online help or documentation of the host application to determine how to enable macros." I clicked Macro Security in the Developer tab. I've tried all the combinations with and without "Trust access to the VBA project object model" checked. I'm still getting the same error when I run the macro. "The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer the online help or documentation of the host application to determine how to enable macros." How do you enable macros?

Answer 1

Is the macro in a trusted location (as defined by the Trust Center Settings in Word)?

Answer 4

I found the path to the Trusted Locations in the Trust Center. When I click on the Visual Basic or Macros button in the Developer tab in Word 2007 how do I indicate to use the Trusted Location path?

Answer 5

The idea is that you either save your document Customer.docm in a folder that has already been made a Trusted Location by you, or that you make the folder in which Customer.docm is stored a Trusted Location. Macros in Customer.docm will then automatically be enabled.
