Visual Basic Error Message From Word

L

Larry Casola

Every time I shut down MS Word I get the following error
message: "The macros in the project are disabled.
Please refer to the online help or documentation of the
host application to determine how to enable macros." I
have uninstalled Office and then reinstalled it. It has
not worked. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Larry

I'm surprised that you uninstalled and reinstalled instead of doing what the
message told you to. Did you look in Word's Help for "enable macros"?

Hi, Larry,

There are two conditions together that cause the message:
- You have the macro security level set to High (Tools > Macro >
Security) and you don't have the 'Trust all installed add-ins and
templates' option checked on the second tab of that dialog.
- Either the document or a template contains a macro named AutoClose
or AutoExit or Document_Close, which is trying to run when you shut
down Word.

Change either of these conditions to stop the message. See section 4
of http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm for the
general procedure.
