The "Trust all installed add-ins and templates" setting in the Office Customization Tool does not change 2007 Office macro security settings

SYMPTOMS

You use the Microsoft Office Customization Tool (OCT) to enable the Trust all installed add-ins and templates setting in a 2007 Microsoft Office system or in Microsoft Office Project 2007. When you do this, the security settings for macros are not changed. This issue also occurs in the 2007 Office system ADM files when you enable the Trust all installed add-ins and templates setting.

CAUSE

The Trust all installed add-ins and templates setting is not functional in 2007 Office products. This issue is based on security behavior in earlier versions of Microsoft Office.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
