Message Box About Macros When Open Word

[Mathias.Thorell]

Thanks for all these answers, but if you read my original post, this
is about Office 2003, not Office 2007, so therefore, I can't get to
the list of active add-ons as described and so on.

There are no network monitoring tools in our network, not in any
Client PC, nor in our servers.

If I go to Tools -> Templates and Add-Ins..., I can see that there is
nothing loaded in the Global templates and add-ins list, it is
completely empty and I consider that being good, right ?

And thanks Suzanne for the clarification of the "Global templates", it
makes sense, somehow ;-)

Cheers !

Chances are the reason you are encountering this message is because VBA

Oh yes !
The link below helped me to solve the problem now :
Unticking the "Trust all installed add-ins and templates" made things
come back on track.

Many, many thanks for the link Beth !
Problem solved now (I hope) and many thanks to Terry & Suzanne as well
for replying so fast here.
Have a nice weekend !

Cheers !

Additionally, Word Options doesn't show you every single add-in. If a COM
add-in is installed per-machine (rather than per-user -- those are what you
see in Word Options) then to check for them there are a couple methods you
can use. Here's an article you can use for this purpose:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555220

Start with Method 3 and make the following changes:

Hi Mathias,


For Word 2003, rather than 2007's Add-ins list, you can still look at the COM Add-in list by the following.

Navigate to
Tools=>Customize=>Commands,
select the 'Tools' category and drag the 'COM Add-ins...'
command to your Tools menu, then close Customize and use the new entry.

The article that Beth cited for finding other than 'user profile' based COM Add-ins (Method 3) would still apply to your version of
Word.

Do note that even though you aren't trusting installed templates and add-ins
that doesn't mean the offending add-in is uninstalled, it's still present
even though the macros aren't running. The method described in the article
is intended to be used for troubleshooting and not necessarily a resolution.
If I were you I'd track the add-in down and disable it. Otherwise it's
likely to surface again at some point.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

Yep, please see my previous post about this one. I have solved
everything now. At last !

Cheers !

True. And with Bob's hints above, I found two add-ons, Google Desktop
Search (which I removed) and some kind of Web Wizard.
Both were disabled though (i.e. unticked in the list).
