Most of us have seen the Enable Content button* in Word 2007/2010. And
I'm sure we all know how to identify an "unreliable source," and what to
do with the files that come from one.
(I sometimes get this button for files that I created from scratch and
saved only on my local PC, and that I've never put a macro in. But I
digress...)
I was asked by Those Who Ork Cows if there's an easy way to see the
macros that triggered Word's paranoia. Yes, I know, Developer=>Macros
will show you the macros in the document, the document's template, the
global template, and even all active documents and templates. But could
any of these trigger the Enable Content button, or only some of them?
And are there other elements that don't appear in the Macros dialog box
that could also trigger it?
Thanks,
Dan
