Though would have to be done manually, set the macro security level to
"Low".

This is only recommended to do if you are behind sufficient firewall and
anti-virus protection as otherwise, you are leaving yourself to be wide open
to vulnerabilities. I use macros quite a bit within the company, which does
have such protections in place, so this medium level macro protection is
more of a headache than what it's worth.

When I open certain Excel or Word documents then I am always asked if I
want to enable or disable
embedded macros.

How can I permanently active these macros (when I open the document later
again)?

However I do NOT want to change the document file itself.
Other user who may have access to the documents as well should have the
choice to
disable them).

I could imagine that MsOffice resp. Word/Excel maintains an internal list
where "always activate macros for docs" are entered and remembered.

If this is not possible:

Is there a way to always allow macros for me (=when I open them) ?
