Default Is normal.dotm being blocked and why

Absolutely out of left field I cannot open any doc or create new ones without getting this message:



As you can see I have told Word to allow all macros and I have also checked that the normal.dotm folder is listed in trusted folders.

Should I go looking for a backup of normal.dorm or is there a simpler solution?

Thank you

Susan Flamingo

Update edit:

Restarted Windows and now it is working. Maybe someone could comment on why this happens so I/we don't have time wasters in the future.

You have checked two options that are not advised.
Trust all macros? This is Russion Roulette!
Disable all macros with notification will do what you want.
Enable access to the vba object model lets macros write macros. It is rare that you want this enabled.


You likely have a file that has macros that is not in a trusted location and is not your normal.dotm.
