How do I unblock macros that are blocked because the source of the file is untrusted?

When I open any Word document I previously created, the file opens but a red banner above reads: “SECURITY RISK Microsoft has blocked macros from running because the source of this file is untrusted.” All these documents were created by me on this PC using a template I’ve maintained and used for many years. I do use the template macros I’ve created constantly. When I go to Developer > Macro Settings, “Enable all macros” is already selected.

    Hello Doug,

    I am facing the same issue and have not found a work-around.

    Lmk if there is another factor / issue that is blocking access.
