Ergle. 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!

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.
