I have the following error message in this screenshot below:
I need to resolve this issue, so that users won't see that message when they run my app if I package and deploy it.

Your installation must put your application in a "Trusted Location" under the user's macro security settings. The Word Startup Folder is usually such a location.

2024-05-15T15:32:06.11+00:00 Should I need to place the COM add-in within the Word Startup Folder, so that I won't get any macro error messages?

The user has to install it and get it past the trust mechanism. I'm afraid someone else will have to help you with that.
