Article ID: 214652 - Last Review: August 14, 2007 - Revision: 2.3 WD97: Macro Warning Doesn't Appear Opening File Attached to Template That Contains MacrosThis article was previously published under Q214652 SYMPTOMS
When you open a Word document or RTF format file that is attached to a template that contains macros, the macro virus warning message may not appear. Word provides a macro warning message when a document that contains a macro is opened; however, if that document is attached to a non-trusted template that contains a macro, no warning is issued. Microsoft Word considers documents and templates that are stored in either the user templates folder or the workgroup templates folder as trusted, or free of unwanted macro viruses. To determine where Word is storing your trusted user and workgroup templates, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the File Locations tab. RESOLUTION
