Adam, You can tell Word to "Trust all installed add-ins and templates."
Click Tools->Macros->Security->"Trusted Sources" tab Than place a check mark inside the "Trust all installed add-ins and templates" check box. To Digitally Sign the macro you need to get a Digital Certificate. These are usually issued by a Certificate Authority (CA), such as VeriSign, although some companies may obtain a certificate for the company and then issue their own certificate to individual business units or employees of the company. There are several classes of certificates. Those that can only sign email, those that can sign programs or macros, and those that can issue other certificates. Be sure to choose the certificate to match your needs. The web site below gives a little more detail. If you do not need global verification of the certificate you wish to sign your macro with, you can create your own certificate using the SelfCert tool from Microsoft. Visit this web page for more information: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q206637 The important thing to remember with the SelfCert tool is that you will have to tell employees to "trust" an unverifiable source. Do this once and you may open Pandora's Box to trusting future unverifiable sources.
