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.
