For 2007 Office products, the terminology "trust" has replaced "security"
and the procedure has been changed (as you might expect). To change
the "trust" settings:
Open Excel
Click the Office Button (top left corner of screen)
Click on "Excel Options" button @ the bottom of the pop-up window
Click on "Trust Center"
Click on "Trust Center Settings"
Click on " Enable all macros.."
Open and Run the programs
An option would be to reset the trust setting by repeating steps 1 thru 5
and,
Click on " Disable macros with notification"
