yes, I have seen the article and since my problem is connected to ms word, i read it. They simply say about the settings. How could i see the content of the macro. If i click the warning then, I am getting this screen. First time, i open the word, it does not say anything, but if i click word options menu to see whether there are problematic adds in, then i get this warning, in every word i am opening. I once tried kutools but i have removed it for safety reason. It gives unnecessary popups when i use it. It is very userful, if you want to find links in the whole of a document, Please see the print screen word file, i attach .
         Moreover, i wish to state that i cannot open two instances of word , in my present situation.

You have it set to disable all add ons. The add on it wants to enable is a MS one, so you can tell it to enable it and leave it enabled.

Hi, Shane ,
                       I got rid of the problem, by two actions.
                            I copied normal.dotm from another computer having ms office 2007,after deleting the
                            normal.dotm in the template folder. But still the problem continued as it takes its macro
                             when try to open word.

                        I deleted the word key in the registry


Close Word if it is open. The program must be closed in order to reset it.
Click the “Start” button on your Windows desktop and select “Run.”
Type “regedit” into the blank field and press the “Enter” key. This will open Microsoft Windows Registry Editor.
Click the “+” symbol next to the folder labeled “HKEY_CURRENT_USER.” This will expand the file.
Click on the “Software” folder, then select the “Microsoft” folder.
Click on the “Office” folder and select “12.0.” Click on “Word key.”
Press the “Delete” key. When the pop-up box appears asking if you really want to delete this file, select “Yes.”
Go to “File,” then “Exit” in Registry Editor to close the program. Restart Word.
Thanks. By this action, macro default settings and word settings have been retrieved.
Thanks again
