Oh dear, I think I'd better explain something about working in a corporate
environment.
My Trust Center settings are all greyed out, because we aren't allowed to
change them. Can't define trusted locations. About the only thing I can do
is specify trusted documents - which I do quite regularly. Macro settings
are fixed to *Disable all macros with notification*.
So maybe I should stop wasting your time, Rhonda, Christine and everyone,
and call on our help desk!
