Cool Macro Security Warning

I nearly finished a large Word file, but since yesterday I encounter a severe problem: every time I try to open a wordfile I got following error message (repeated 3 times) :


'The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support. When this software was installed, you (or your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls.'

I have been looking on google for several hours but unfortunately did not find the solution !...

Would it PLEASE be possible to help me once again to restore my macro function ?

Thanks a lot !

Presumably, someone has changed your macro security settings or changed the Office installation to remove macro support. See:

Cool Macro Security Warning

Hello Paul,
Thank you for the microsoft link; unfortunately that method did NOT resolve my problem, BUT... the good news is that I managed to recover; here is what I did:
- first, in order to check the Windows sytemfiles, I ran the well known commands Dism and SFC... everything was OK
- I reinstalled my Office...>>> the Macro error message disappeared but when I tried to import a new image I got another error message telling that acrotray.exe could not be found; I checked it in the Adobe directory and, indeed that file was missing !...
- I reinstalled my Adobe Acrobat DC >>> NO error anymore, BUT... the recorded macro in Word was 'gone'
- I created a new macro (with your script) and .... everything is working perfectly again as before !!!
I presume that all the problems were caused by running a few days ago a deep cleaning Ccleaner session >>> I will NEVER, never use that program again !

Thanks a lot for your extended help !
