Hi Cor Nouws

That's right, but you get a Dialog Box, which says the three steps which are
needed to enable Macros.
(There is also a warning it can contain Viruses)

But: Microsoft Office also has Macros disabled by default and shows a
notification to the Users (Source e.g.:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Change-macro-security-settings-in-Excel-3b5ec213-efcc-4d48-9efd-83d097397a7e)

And currently a lot of users get infected by this way, because there is written
the user has to enable macros. Even it's a little easier in MS Office.

I picked up an example article:
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2016/02/17/locky-ransomware-what-you-need-to-know/

The main point: How can LibreOffice prevent such a behaviour, but don't block
may needed macros?

(Even if the main problem in this case is the user - not the software, but I
think it's an important point to discuss)
