HOWTO: Enable Macros In Microsoft Word

When spawning documents in MS Word from XrayVision, you may get a macro warning and/or error indicating that macros are not enabled in MS Word.  This is a security feature in Word to prevent macro viruses from spreading in infected documents.  Apteryx recommends that you set your macro security to Medium.  The medium security setting permits you to tell Word when macros should be allowed or disallowed when working with documents.  In order for Word to fill in the various document templates from XrayVision, you must enable macros.

On Medium macro security, MS Word will ask you if macros should be enabled for a document.
