Default Macro security

Re macro security you are the victim I think of a corporate policy. That
policy is saved here in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Offi ce\11.0\Excel\Security\Level

You'd want to change Level from 2 to 1 (or delete Level) using the
Regedit.exe program but you may not have the rights.

I think the network folder being trusted is a policy too. Even if you could
change it on your machine you couldn't on other users' machines. I don't
know where that setting is in any case.

| | | every time I open a file containing macros I should see the option
to

| | | / Enable macros.
| | |
| | | Recently I have noticed that this message is only appearing
| intermittently
| | | i.e. files are sometimes opening without giving me this option.
Macros
| | |
| | | I cannot see any obvious pattern to this - it seems to happen with

| | |
| | | Any ideas what might be causing this?
