Thanks for your reply Steve. For info I seem to have fixed the issue, by: 1. In the TRIM application I set the User Configuration to not "use Document Assembly in Microsoft Word" 2. Then deleted Normal.dot and re-created a new Normal.dot by opening Word. Macro's our now working fine.

One of my least fav probs :-( A - the macros disabled problem #1: For the session, try tools > macro > security > none. I have a strange feeling this sometimes doesn't work. #2: For long-term usage, create a digital certificate with SelfCert, sign production copies of your template, and go through the long drilldown to approve the certificate permanently. This is Painful but possible. When you deleted the toolbar, I wonder what Context you deleted it in. Word can get very gnarly about that one. Eg Context = Active document, attached template, normal. Ideally, you explictly open the global template the toolbar is in and delete it from there. I suspect your 'deletion' has been 'saved' in Normal.dot and 'deletes' the toolbar everytime you load Word. This causes a righteous mess and no - there is no way of determining where this virtual "delete my toolbar" toolbar is opr what it is :-( It's a combo of the Word data key and normal.dot. You can try renaming both, you may get the toolbar back though. B - Design mode This beastie raises its head regularly. Your VBA modules have a HasDesignerWindow property, or something like that. Set this to false. ( Mytemplate.VBProject.VBComponents(n) ) C - Trim document problem Hmmm. I am guessing it is trying to read a value from the toolbar you have deleted and is mishandling the error. Contact the manufacturer of TRIM and tell em you deleted the toolbar and now get this error. Nasty nasty problems, I get them sometimes too. You have to be damn careful when fiddling in this manner. GL! Steve -----Original Message----- From: Diana Muzrimas I'm working with Word 2003. I created a couple of small macro's yesterday to help me more effectively edit a large MS-Word document (it allowed me to copy text between two documents). It was working fine two days ago. A Trainer was working on the document yesterday (limited Word skills) When I tried to run the macro's today, I'm getting the following message: Microsoft Visual Basic - The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer to the online help or documentation of the host application to determine how to enable macros. I'm trying to contact the appropriate person from the Host application developers. When ever I open the document(s) I'm also now finding that the Control Toolbox and Exit Design Mode toolbars are displayed; even though I Exit design mode, and then close theControl toolbar. When I re-open the document they still display. I had deleted a custom toolbar (TRIM Document Assembly) that is installed from a third-party application, as I thought this might be related to the problem. But the VB error continues to occur. Any suggestions where I should look, would be appreciated? I have also been getting the following error when I close some documents: TRIM Document Assembly - Run-time error '4248': This command is not available because no document is open.
