Macros Disabled

Recently (aagh!) I was 'hacked'. In doing corrective
action, I updated Microsoft Office, especially for Word
which was now running eratically.

Now when I open/close Word, I get a dialog window
(Virtual Basic) that states the Macros in this project
are disabled. The help function tells me to reopen the
application with macros enabled.

How?

I have uninstalled/reinstalled Word and even had MS
Office to do a self-repair, all in vain. My Norton system
(which I run weekly) tells me I am virus-free, and Adware
keeps the spyware out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks! in advance...

Tools > Macro > Security. Set the security level to Medium. Also go to
the Trusted Publishers tab of the dialog and check the box to trust
all installed templates and add-ins.

Now you'll be prompted to enable/disable macros, but only for macros
that are in documents or in templates that aren't in the usual
locations.
