[mso] Excel/Word Macros - double enabling & size issues

I have a Word document that contains an excel worksheet. The excel
worksheet has protected ranges and one macro-button to insert a row.  When
I am in the Word document, if I right click to edit the worksheet, it will
ask me if I want to enable the macros, I say yes.  Sometimes it asks me
twice, I think that was when I first pasted the worksheet.

The Word document itself has many macros, and it is the main document.
When it is first opened a user has to enable those macros.  I don't want
them to have to again enable macros when they get to the page with the
excel worksheet on it.  Is there a way I can automatically enable the excel
macros, too, from the word form, or whatever method is needed?  The
worksheet is not linked.  I have placed it there instead of using a Word
table to be able to do calculations.  I have been studying and trying to
implement solutions from this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=317405
, but not successful yet.  Our OS is XP, with Excel/Word 2002, but the bulk
of the users will be Office 2003.  Should I give up trying to find a
solution and go back to manual table calculations in Word?

Because the 2nd issue is that if they insert more rows than are originally
provided (this will happen in a small percentage of forms), I haven't found
out how to allow the excel worksheet in Word to automatically 'grow' with
the rows added.  In Microsoft Access I can tell a form field to grow or
shrink with data entry text, but don't know if it can be done here.

Thank you for any help,
Cathy
