I want to get rid of the macro warnings in Word from Office '03

[Guest]

I've read and tried all the discussed solutions and still get irritating
warnings each time I open Word in my newly installed upgrade from Office '97
to Office '03. I have set security to medium and checked to enable all macros.

My trouble begins with a security warning stating that a startup file,
pdfwriter97.dot contains macros. Then I can enable macros, disable macros or
get more info. If I enable macros, I get a dialog box that says to install
the create pdf writer software. I click OK and I'm back to the security
warning. Then I click disable macros, and I can create my Word document.

However, if I just click disable macros, I get a Microsoft Visual Basic
dialog box telling me to refer to online help on how to enable macros, which,
if I click "yes" sends me back to the security warning.

Help!

Thanks,
John

1) You should not be using pdfwriter97.dot with Word 2003. It won't work
properly. It is likely in the Office startup folder.

2) If you really insist on doing so, move it to the Word startup folder and
out of the Office startup folder. (The Word startup folder can be a trusted
location while the Office startup folder is not.)
