Can I disable the "activate macros" prompt?

I have a document that contains macros that I want to distribute to
large user base. Is there any way to override the "activate macros
prompt or do I need to talk them through setting their macro securit
to "medium" and then activate macros everytime they open th
document

If the latter is the case, is there I way I can check to see if the
have activated the macros, i.e. to flag to them that the macro
aren't activated and what they need to do to activate

Thanks

There should be absolutely no way to activate the macros remotely - and long
may it remain so. It would open the door to malicious code that the macro
security is there to prevent.

Distribute the document as a template (with common access if on a network)
and get the users to trust installed templates and add-ins and you will lose
the prompt, provided the users have the macro security set to medium.

You can create a digital certificate and sign your code then assist your
users with the installation. After checking "always trust macros from this
source" the first time they would never have to see the message again.
