Episode 2491 – While using SmartRoster software, you try to export a report to Word. The export does not start and you get a message that says, “Microsoft Word Security Notice. Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern. Microsoft has blocked macros from running because the source of this file is untrusted.”

I recently posted episode 2485 that attempted to allow macros by using the Unblock checkbox in the workbook properties. That method won’t work here. Instead, you can temporarily set up a trusted location. This video shows you how.
