In Office 2024, the settings for ActiveX controls have changed to be disabled by default. When ActiveX controls are disabled, you will not be able to create new ActiveX objects or interact with existing ones. This change applies to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio.
If you need to use ActiveX controls in your Office documents, you can reenable it in the Trust Center.
