Hello KeldSor,
Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.
I understand your frustration with the macro security warnings and other issues you are experiencing with Microsoft Word. It's essential to balance security measures with user convenience when using macros in Office applications.
To address the macro security warning issue, you can try the following steps:
- Add Trusted Locations: Go to "File" > "Options" > "Trust Center" > "Trust Center Settings." Under "Trusted Locations," add the folder where your templates with macros are stored. This should prevent the security warning for documents in that location.
- Enable Macros for Trusted Documents: In the "Trust Center" settings, go to "Macro Settings" and select "Disable all macros with notification." This will allow macros to run in documents from trusted locations while still prompting for other documents.
- Digital Signatures: If you have a digital signature certificate, you can sign your templates with macros. This action will help establish trust, and Word will display a different security warning when opening signed documents.
Regarding the issue with the QAT-bar, it's essential to ensure that the commands you want to add are available in the ribbon interface. If a particular command is not part of the ribbon by default, it may not be possible to add it to the QAT-bar directly. However, you can customize the ribbon to add the desired commands, and they will then become available in the QAT-bar.
To customize the ribbon, you can follow these steps:
- Right-click the ribbon area and select "Customize the Ribbon."
- In the right pane, create a new tab or group and add the desired commands to it.
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
Please note that Microsoft Office applications are continually updated, and features or settings might change over time. If you are experiencing persistent issues despite following the correct settings and steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to Microsoft support or visit the Microsoft Office community forums to seek further assistance from the community or Microsoft experts.
Remember to always exercise caution when enabling macros, especially from unknown sources, as they can pose security risks.
