To help prevent macros that contain viruses from contaminating your system, by default Office for Mac displays a warning message whenever you try to open a document that contains a macro. This message appears regardless of whether the macro actually contains a virus. Learn how to create a Macro in Microsoft Excel in this step-by-step tutorial video. As full disclosure, I work at Microsoft as a full-time employee. When you enable macros and 'Georges Excel Checkbook for Mac' opens and properly runs those macros, certain Excel default settings will be changed. These changed settings will apply to other Excel files you open if ' Georges Excel Checkbook for Mac ' is open, unless you open those files in a different instance/session of Excel.

I have some software that is written in Excel on a PC. It runs fine (mostly) on a Mac too, and I have Mac users. But the softeware has Visual Basic Macros and I need users to set their Macro Security Settings to Medium (if it is set on High) so that Excel will open the files with the macros enabled. On Excel for the PC, the macro security settings are located in the Tools menu - Tools/Macro/Security/Security Level (tab). However, someone on a Mac doesn't fine the security settings there, or anywhere so far. Please advise where the macro security settings can be found in the menus for Excel for the Mac? Thanks in advance for ay ny help. Regards, Vernon
