Default Default Macro security setting

Can some one please post the definitive High Med or Low
setting for macros on Office 2000 SR1. I can't seem to
find the white paper or answer from anywhere on MS...
Thanks,
Dino

Default Default Macro security setting

Hi Dino,

http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/xp/two/admC04.htm

Macro security levels in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
The following list summarizes how macro-virus protection reacts to the
different types of signed and unsigned macros encountered under each
setting. Users can change these settings through the Security Level tab in
the Security dialog box (Tools menu, Macro submenu).

In all cases Low security presents no prompt to the user, and macros are
allowed to run. Any certificates attached to macros that are run under low
security are not posted to the trusted source list for Office applications.
Only when security is set to Medium or High, and a user agrees to trust a
certificate, will a certificate be added to the trusted source list for
Office. This list of security settings does not present the Low Security
option since low security is the same for all cases.

Unsigned macros
High — Macros are disabled, and the document, workbook, presentation, or
e-mail message is opened.

Medium — User is prompted to enable or disable macros.

Signed macros from a trusted source with a valid certificate
High and Medium — Macros are enabled, and the document, workbook,
presentation, or e-mail message is opened.

Signed macros from an unknown source with a valid certificate
High and Medium— A dialog box appears with information about the
certificate. Users must then determine whether they should enable any
macros based on the content of the certificate. To enable the macros, users
must accept the certificate.

Please let me know has this helped You...
Thank You...
Raghu...
