No, that's where I'm getting the message... Dialog title: Project Locked Dialog text: Project is unviewable I can select the macro project, but I can't access it's properties (same message). When I click on the + sign to expand it, I get the same message. I also get the same message when I try to edit any of its macros from a Word document I'm wondering if I somehow managed to "Lock for viewing" from the Project tab in the Properties dialog, but I'm sure I would have noticed myself doing that and adding a password. Plus there doesn't seem to be any option for unlocking it. I can't see the macro project in the Organizer, but I can still run the macros in it. This is becoming a bit of a problem - it's attached to my Normal template, and I need access to the macros! (not to mention the ones I'm half-way through developing...) -----Original Message----- From: Steve Hudson [mailto:cruddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Saturday, 26 July 2003 2:43 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [austechwriter] Re: Word argh Can you open it explicitly from explorer?

To be precise, a Word 2002/XP argh. My Normal macro project is locked. Can't access it. Can't look at it. Can't even view properties for it. Argh. The Help files, naturally, only give me information about locking aspect ratios and such - not about locking themselves! Oh, and when I click on the Help button on the associated "Project is unviewable" button, I get an empty help window. Only thing I can think of is that the other day I was kinda fiddling with macro permissions, etc the other day... ya reckon that could be it?? I had two tasks. One was that I was asked to provide some macros for documents which would be sent out - and which would then be automatically rejected/destroyed by the recipient because of the presence of macros. So I was going to write another macro for my Normal template to remove all macros from the active document. (Actually, eventually all macros would end up in Normal anyway, but that's not practical for right now, and the remove-macros macro would be useful in any case.) I was in the initial phases of seeing if I could do this, and I discovered that I had to check the "Trust access to Visual Basic Project" security setting, so that I could actually access macro information. So that setting has changed. Unchanging it and restarting Word has not made a difference to the project being locked. I've also been looking at digital signatures, because we want to keep our security settings fairly high, but I'd like to be able to distribute documents with macros attached. So I created a digital signature and attached it to my Normal macro project. Didn't have a chance to test it on someone else's machine, because all this macro stuff has been a background task for me - playtime for me whenever I get a few spare minutes. I can't see how either of the things I have done could have locked my Normal macro project (though I admit that playing with permissions sometimes does have this affect). Does anyone have any ideas? Word. Argh.
