Description dtejadas 2022-01-22 10:37:30 UTC
Description:
Unless I configure my macro security settings to "Low", I get an alert about macros being insecure every time I open a document, even if it has no macros. So, if I don't want the anoying alert, I have to compromise my security.
Maybe there could be a macro security option that asks for confirmation when executing any macro, so no macro is disabled by default and no alert is needed.
Or maybe the alert should not be shown if the document has no macros

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure macro security settings on medium or higher
2. Open any document (even if it has no macros)


Actual Results:
I get an alert about macros being insecure

Expected Results:
No alert if the document has no macros


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Alert is not shown if the document has no macros. Can you test it with Safe mode? Menu Help > Restart in safe mode.

The alert also pops in safe mode.
Ok, I've created an empty document and the alert does not show, but in other documents I use (created on ms word with a template) it seems there are no macros.
I'll add a screenshot

Duplicate of bug 61398?

Yes, it's probably the same issue.
