I'm just posting something I discovered when I installed Levit & James' Cross-Eyes Add-In for Word. Unless my observation is off, I don't need any responses.

This Add-In installs as a shortcut to their template in the Office Startup folder rather than in Word's startup folder. When this is done, it requires authorization from the user to enable macros. When the same shortcut is moved to the Word Startup folder, which is a trusted location, it runs without requiring the user to enable macros. The file itself remains in a Levit & James program folder. So, I am assuming two things from this:

1. The Office Startup folder is not a trusted location by default.
2. If a shortcut to a macro-holding template is in a trusted location, the template, itself not in a trusted location, is trusted.

Neither of these are things I would have guessed.

On the cross-post, Tony Jollans reported not getting the behavior with the shortcut.
