No, no, a thousand times no!!! If you can do it, so could any two-bit macro
virus! Anything that allowed that would be *in*security.
- You can buy a digital certificate and sign your macros.
- You can distribute a template instead of a document, and instruct the
recipient to install it in their User Templates folder (assuming they have
checked the "Trust all installed add-ins and templates" box on the Trusted
Sources tab of the Tools > Macro > Security dialog).
- Most easily, you can include instructions for setting the security level
to Medium and clicking the Enable Macros button on opening the document.
(This may not be feasible if the recipient is stuck with a policy setting
that enforces High security level.)
