Macros

Everytime I open Word, I get a message about enabling Macros. Every time I
click on "enable Macros". How can I get this to be permanent and not get the
message constantly?

Go to Tools > Macro > Security. On the first tab, verify that Medium is
selected (it probably is, since that's what causes the message instead of
silently disabling macros).

On the second tab, check the box for "Trust all installed add-ins and
templates". Click OK, then close and reopen Word. That should stop most of
the messages.

If you still get messages, there may be an add-in stored in Word's "Program
Startup Folder" (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\ Startup, or the
equivalent if you installed Word somewhere else). You'll need to move any
such add-in to Word's "real" Startup folder. See the article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/WhatTemplatesStore.htm, and
particularly footnote 1.
