[Guest]

I have a .dot created in office 97. I have now updated to office200 when I
click on the macro it produces the message 'macro cannot be found or has been
disabled becouse of your security setting. I have changed my security level
to low but still get the same error

Hi =?Utf-8?B?SmVhbm5lYg==?=,

I have a .dot created in office 97. I have now updated to office200 when I
click on the macro it produces the message 'macro cannot be found or has been
disabled becouse of your security setting. I have changed my security level
to low but still get the same error

By "click on the macro" do you mean in Tools/Macro/macro, or do you mean a
toolbar button?

If the latter, chances are the toolbar and macro weren't stored in the same
file. The toolbar has transferred across, but can't find the macro. Was the
macro perhaps saved in the Normal.dot, while the toolbar was in your template?

Hi Cindy

I believe the problem was the security level. I changed the security level
yesterday but did not restart word. When I have retried it this morning with
the lower security level and restarting word it is working ok.
Thanks Jeanne
