VBA concern: support for macros or controls not installed
Background: installed Zotero, a citation manager, to use on Word but it uses macros
My Word doesn't seem to have VBA installed. Every time I open the app, error boxes appear. Screenshotted below:
I have tried a few things to fix this but without benefit:
- Macros enabled in the trust centre
- VBA enabled in the trust centre
- Rapid and online repair completed
- I have attempted to 'change' the program in the Control Panel in order to access the 'expand/add features' option but this does not exist as an option for me. When I press 'change' only repair options appear for me. Screenshotted below:
My impression is that somehow VBA was not installed when I downloaded Office form my account. I appreciate VBA is downloaded automatically but this has not been the case for me.
Please advise on next steps.
Thanks in advance.
