Microsoft has recently stepped up its campaign to block macros that install or act as malware, as described at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployOffice/security/internet-macros-blocked . That article gives a long list of steps to take to make sure that you use only macros that you know are safe.

 

If the macros in your templates are ones that you wrote yourself, or that came from a source you know and trust, then the simplest way to prevent the Office security routines from blocking them is in a single bullet point about halfway down the page:

 

  • If you're not using digital signatures, you can save the template file to a Trusted Location and have users get the template file from that location.

Can you show us the code used ni the macros and where do you have them.

If the macros are required to be used on any document, they should be in a macro enabled template (*.dotm) file that is saved to:

C:\Users\JDVELEZ\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup

If the macros are in a template from which the document is created, that should be saved in

C:\Users\JDVELEZ\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

By default, both of those folders are Trusted Locations.
thanks for your help

if i open a word document the macros are fine, but i use a old software to create a word documents, the first one created with the program is fine, my macros work ok, but in the second created document with the same software the macros are bloked...

my macrtos are to paste a image using a single click in word
Where do you have the document\template that contains the macros?

Can you show us the code in the macro.

@jdvelez1 

THANKS A LOT AGAIN !!!!

 

The macros are very simple... are donde with the macro recording of word and by my self

There is no way that I can help you if you do not provide a copy of the macros. The best way to do that would be to send me a copy of the template in which they are located.
i am tryng to send you a normal.dotm but I do not see the seame area in which I place the video
I have made a simple macro in word 365 just lo insert a picture.... i do not know how to locaste te exct code... is in word 365

@jdvelez1 

@jdvelez1 Save the file contained in the attached archive into the Word Startup folder that is located at

 

C:\Users\JDVELEZ\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup

 

and which, by default should be a "Trusted Location"
